AREAS OF SPECIAL INTERESTS
Minwook joined Dr. Mauck's lab in August 2009. His research has focused on cartilage tissue engineering using mesenchymal stem cells and integrative cartilage repair. Before joining the lab, Minwook worked at the Hospital for Special Surgery under direction of Drs. Nancy Pleshko and Adele Boskey and Nemours/Alfred I. DuPont Hospital for Children under direction of Dr. George Dodge. Personal interests include fishing, gigging drums, playing with kids being transformed into Power Rangers.
