WONJA CHOI Professor Emeritus
Prof. Wonja Choi, a faculty member of Dept. Life Sciences/ Division of Eco Life Sciences, was granted a Ph. D. degree in the field of molecular biology at University of Southern California, USA and did post-doctoral research in National Institute of Health, USA. She has engaged for 30 years in the field of Microbiol Molecular Genetics. Particularly, she conducted a Pioneer Research Project as a project governor from 2007 to 2013, for which approx. 6 billion wons were funded from the Korean government. For past 4 years, tens of local or international patents were registered and many research articles were published in competitive international journals. She is currently trying to expand her research performances to industry. Extra-murally, she has advised the Korean Government as a member of the National Science Advisory Board.
