Faculty

I am a full professor in the Department of Urology at Uijeongbu Eulji Medical Center, Eulji University, and Director of Robotic Surgery Center, Uijeongbu Eulji Medical Center, Gyeonggi-do, Korea.

I graduated from Seoul National University, College of Medicine (2001), and received PhD degree (2009) at University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea. After finishing internship, residentship and 2-year fellowship (urooncology and endourology) at the Department of Urology, Asan Medical Center, Seoul, I have been working at the Eulji Medical Center as a professor since March 2009. I also worked as a visiting professor at the Department of Urology, UC San Diego, Moores Cancer Center, CA, USA (2016 – 2017).

I am interested in minimal invasive surgery and quality of life in patients with urological cancer. While I am an expert of robotic surgery in prostate and kidney cancer, I have been leading many clinical trials funded by pharmaceutical companies and translational research funded by Korean government (National Research Fund) as a principal investigator. I have experienced much basic research regarding molecular biomarker, carcinogenesis, and treatment target of prostate and bladder cancer.

I have served as the Secretary General of Korean Society of Endourology and Robotics (KSER, 2021-2022), and Director of the Public Relations Committee of KSER (2023- Present). I also have served as a member of Institutional Review Board, Eulji University Hospital (2010 –Present) and a reviewer of National Research Foundation of Korea for various researches as well as an executive director/active member of many international academic societies (KUA, KSER, KUOS, KCA, AUA, EAU, SIU, ES, AACR, ASCO, and ESMO, etc.).
