Career

Koh worked in the US for five years as a research fellow at Cornell University and then as a research associate at Indiana University.[6] Upon returning to Korea in 1995, Koh started as an assistant professor and finished as an associate professor in Chonbuk National University Medical School before teaching at Pohang University of Science and Technology as an associate professor from 2001 until 2003. From 2003 to 2010 he was a professor in KAIST in the Department of Biological Science before becoming a distinguished professor in 2011 in the Graduate School of Medical Science and Engineering.[7] He became the founding director of the IBS Center for Vascular Research in July 2015; their first in the field of basic medical sciences.[8] He became a scientific member at the Max Planck Institute at Meunster[9] in 2016.

He was on the editorial boards of Blood[10] and Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology[11] and is currently on the editorial board at Cancer Research.[12]

Honors and awards
gollark: Can you just buy spiders by the tonne from anywhere?
gollark: The main question is how to get spiders in bulk, I suppose.
gollark: You can probably just use regular spiders and most people will run away, honestly.
gollark: It's probably mostly nonlethal, cheap *and* a very good deterrent!
gollark: So fire spiders into crowds? Interesting idea.
