Biography
Bumrae Cho has his expertise in genetic modification and generation of donor cells for somatic cell nuclear transfer. Especially, he is focusing on the generation of genetically modified pigs for xenotransplantation, disease resistance pigs, and various pig models to investigate human disease. His research interest is genetic modification of SCNT donor cells using CRISPR/Cas9 system to produce various pig models including human disease mimicking pig model, viral disease-resistant pig, pigs as an organ donor for the xenotransplantation. Now, he is developing genetically modified pigs such as pigs mimicking type I diabetes, porcine epidemic diarrhea resistant pigs, and dengue virus sensitive pigs.
