Yong Tae Kwon

Dr. Ji is an Executive Director of Bio R&D Center at AUTOTAC Bio and a Research Associate Professor at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, Seoul National University. His globally-recognized work in both academia and industry encompasses not only basic science research/discovery in the protein degradation space with a specific focus on the N-degron pathway, but also translational/clinical development of small-molecule chemical ligands and heterobifunctional chimeric degrader platform for targeted protein degradation and modulation for development of disease-modifying therapeutics. His experience on both sides of the aisle have contributed to the founding of two protein degradation-modulating bio-startup companies.
