Project summary
Bon-Kyoung is a mouse geneticist with broad experience in the field of E3 ubiquitin ligases. He is based at the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute, where he studies the role of endosomal E3 ubiquitin ligases in two major signalling pathways. Currently, his research focus is on identifying and understanding the role of novel E3 ubiquitin ligases in homeostatic regulation of stem cells.
