Biography
Dr. Kyung Chul Shin received his Bachelor's in Biotechnology from Konkuk University, South Korea, which was followed by his PhD in Cellular and Molecular Medicine. His research at Konkuk University mainly focused on researching new ion channels (especially Piezo ion channel) related to tactile sensations, and explored a deeper understanding of patch-clamp technology, calcium imaging technology, and new ion channels that have yet to be discovered.
Dr. Shin joined QBRI in 2020 as a post-doc at the Neurological Disorders Research Center. His current research aims to identify biomarkers in autism spectrum disorder with multifactor neurodevelopmental impairment.
Dr. Shin’s work has appeared in journals such as Scientific Reports, Free Radical Research, and Clinical and Experimental Hypertension.
