Min-sung Choi
Graduate Student
I was born in Seoul, Korea, lived in Manhattan for a little over 8 years, and returned to Seoul when I was ten. In 2000, I received a B.S. in biology at Yonsei University (Seoul), and received my M.S. also in biology at the same school in 2002. I have been a ‘worm’ person, having worked with C. elegans for over two years. My work focused on genetic screening looking for transposon-induced mutants, and also the change of gene expression in worms on exposure to ethanol. My interests mainly focus on, but are not limited to, genetics and developmental biology, and after taking a course in statistics last semester I have also become interested in biostatistics. After receiving my Ph.D. I plan to continue as a researcher or teacher, but I’m also interested in positions that provide information for web-based databases. In my spare time I like to meet friends, go to new places, read all sorts of fiction, and watch movies.
