About
Byung-Wook Park is a leading researcher at the intersection of inhalation toxicology and advanced in vitro modeling, with a primary focus on understanding how environmental and consumer aerosols—including cigarette smoke, e-cigarette vapor, and particulate matter—affect lung health. His most cited work, a 2021 perspective on smoking-related inhalation toxicology, has garnered 62 citations and highlights his pivotal contributions to the field. Park is renowned for championing air-liquid interface (ALI) culture models and lung-on-chip technologies as transformative tools that more accurately mimic human respiratory exposure than traditional methods. His research addresses critical challenges in replicating the complex biological responses to inhaled toxicants, offering new opportunities for mechanistic studies and risk assessment. By bridging engineering and toxicology, Park’s work has advanced the development of physiologically relevant platforms, influencing both regulatory science and public health policy. His achievements underscore a commitment to refining in vitro alternatives, reducing reliance on animal models while enhancing predictive power for human inhalation risks.
