Seungwoo Kang, Ph.D.I am a neuroscientist who wants to contribute to the public health field by elucidating the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of addiction and its comorbid disorders. My work applies multi-layered combination of classical assays such as ex vivo electrophysiology and biochemistry with advanced techniques including multi-brain regional behavior-synchronized recordings with in vivo electrophysiology, fiber-photometry/microendoscopy calcium imaging to expand our understanding of the cell, circuit, and context basis of motivated behaviors and its pathophysiological adaptation.
I am currently working as an Assistant Professor of Pharmacology/Research Scientist at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, Minnesota. You can find the information about my background, research interests, and publications here. For more information on any of my research or myself, please feel free to contact me!
