Welcome to the Choo Lab

Dr. Choo
Dr. Hyojung Choo, Assistant Professor

The Choo lab focuses on the mechanisms that underlie skeletal muscle regeneration in the craniofacial area. Our aim is to treat craniofacial myopathy and to develop strategies to reconstitute functional craniofacial skeletal muscles utilizing stem cell therapy.




Our Research

Our goal is understanding mechanisms of muscle specificity involved in of various types of muscular dystrophy in order to enable targeted therapies that effectively treat the affected muscle. Craniofacial muscles differ from limb/trunk muscles in their distinctive embryonic origins, muscle stem cell activity and muscle fiber types.
