Senior🎓
Top SchoolSuk Namgoong is a structural biologist and biochemist with over 13 years of practical experience and a 15-year research trajectory probing actin cytoskeleton dynamics and translation fidelity. He combines deep expertise in X-ray crystallography, SAXS, protein expression/purification, and structure-based protein engineering with hands-on biophysical techniques such as ITC, MALS, and fluorescence assays. Suk has contributed across academia and industry—from postdoctoral and research faculty roles at Yale and UPenn to leadership and advisory positions at Macrogen, Chungbuk National University, SLMS, and Orum Therapeutics—bridging fundamental discovery with translational applications. He routinely integrates structural bioinformatics and protein modeling into experimental design, enabling rational mutation strategies and assay development. Known for leading cross-disciplinary teams, he also brings an uncommon blend of sequencing/bioinformatics management experience from his time directing genome sequencing efforts. Based in Philadelphia, he leverages a Korea University PhD in Biochemistry to translate mechanistic insight into engineered proteins and therapeutic direction.
