About
Sangdun Choi is a leading figure in functional genomics and systems biology, with a career-spanning focus on deciphering the molecular mechanisms of immune and inflammatory signaling. His early, foundational work includes the construction of a large-insert bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library for the rice blast fungus *Magnaporthe grisea*, a landmark 1997 study (59 citations) that enabled genome analysis, contig assembly, and gene cloning in this major plant pathogen. This contribution laid critical groundwork for plant pathology and fungal genomics. Over his career, Choi has made profound contributions to understanding Toll-like receptor (TLR) and NF-κB signaling pathways, particularly through high-throughput screening and computational modeling. His research has been widely cited, with multiple papers accumulating hundreds of citations, reflecting his impact on both basic immunology and drug discovery. He is also recognized for developing innovative bioinformatics tools and databases that accelerate the identification of therapeutic targets for inflammatory diseases. Choi’s work continues to bridge the gap between genomic discovery and translational medicine, making him a key resource for students and researchers exploring signal transduction networks.
