About
Won-Hyeok Choe is a virologist whose research focuses on hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication and the development of antiviral strategies. His most notable contribution is a landmark 2006 study, "A Cell-Based, High-Throughput Screen for Small Molecule Regulators of Hepatitis C Virus Replication," which has garnered 88 citations. This work pioneered a cell-based assay enabling the rapid identification of small molecules that inhibit HCV replication, providing a critical tool for antiviral drug discovery. By establishing a high-throughput screening platform, Choe’s research accelerated the search for direct-acting antivirals, which later revolutionized HCV treatment. His contributions have been instrumental in bridging basic virology and translational medicine, offering insights into viral-host interactions and resistance mechanisms. Choe’s work remains highly cited in the fields of antiviral research and drug development, underscoring its lasting impact on combating HCV and informing strategies against other RNA viruses.
