MicroRNA therapy may help heart failure
Dongtak Jeong, PhD
Professor
Dr. Jeong has a broad background in molecular cardiology. He worked in the CVRC, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, NY as an Assistant Professor. Recently, he moved back to Hanyang university in South Korea and continued studying on cardiac disease and tissue fibrosis. His research goal is to understand the molecular mechanism underlying disease-associated tissue fibrosis and perform the translational research based on this knowledge.
