Ho-Jun Suk

Ho-Jun Suk completed his Medical Engineering/Medical Physics Ph. D. in the Harvard/MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology, working on robotic technologies for analyzing cells. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Cornell and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign respectively. Then as a postdoc, he worked on novel treatments for Alzheimer's disease, working between the labs of Li-Huei Tsai and Ed Boyden. He then went on to a startup company in the biotech space.
