Chang Won Kho, PhD is an Assistant Professor, Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York. He completed his education and training at Korea University, Korea, and at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York. He designed a multi-faceted approach to profile proteins in cardiomyocytes that interact with SERCA2a. His efforts have led to the identification of SUMO1 as a potentially important target. His discovery has opened up a new area of research in his laboratory. He is forging ahead  further examining  SERCA2a post-translational modifications. Email: changwon.kho@mssm.edu Phone: 212-824-8907

Jae Gyun Oh, PhD, is a postdoctoral fellow at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York. Jae Gyun graduated from Handong Global University and completed a PhD program at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, Korea. His thesis was on the role of Protein kinase C (PKC)-interacting cousin of thioredoxin (PICOT). In 2013, he was recruited to the Cardiovascular Research Center, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He is now researching the role of microRNAs in SUMO1-mediated calcium cycling in the setting of heart failure.Email: jaegyun.oh@mssm.edu Phone: 212-824-9020

Przemyslaw Gorski, PhD, is a postdoctoral fellow at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York. Przemyslaw graduated from the University of Windsor and completed a PhD program at the University of Alberta, Canada. During his PhD, he researched the in vitro biochemical characterization of sarcolipin and other endogenous peptide regulators of the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium pump (SERCA). In 2014, he was recruited to the Cardiovascular Research Center, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. He is currently examining the post-translational modification (PTMs) as novel mechanisms of SERCA2 regulation in the heart. Email: przemyslaw.gorski@mssm.edu Phone: 212-824-9018

Philyoung Lee, PhD, is a postdoctoral fellow at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York. Philyoung received his doctorate from Korea University, Korea. His thesis was on the roles of  granzyme A during compromised cell death. In 2017, he was recruited to Cardiovascular Research Center, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. His postdoctoral work focuses on identifying relevant SUMO-1 target  proteins that are involved in cardio-protective effect of SUMO-1 gene therapy and about global SUMOylation dynamics during heart failure. Email: philyoung.lee@mssm.edu Phone: 212-824-9018
