Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Seongok Lee's research focuses on cellular mechanisms related to DNA repair, protein homeostasis, and organ transplantation. Lee has investigated the role of ZMYM2 in restricting 53BP1 at DNA double-strand breaks to facilitate BRCA1 loading and homologous recombination, and the regulation of 53BP1 recruitment at damaged chromatin by evolved histone tails. Further work examines how UBA80 and UBA52 influence RNF168-dependent histone ubiquitination and DNA repair. In the context of transplantation, Lee's work includes studying the immunoproteasome in rat kidney allografts and its impact on function after cold storage and transplantation. Research also explores the role of Complement 5 in mitochondria during kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and the mitigation of post-ischemia and reperfusion kidney injury in complement 5 knockout rats. Lee's scholarship includes 13 publications with 123 citations and an h-index of 3.
