Seong-In Hyun

Seong-In Hyun is a postdoctoral fellow with a background in virology and human genetics. Seong-In’s doctoral research, with Bernard Moss, examined how vaccinia virus builds its virions, from the topology of viral membrane proteins (Traffic, 2015) to the role of the I2 protein in virion morphogenesis (Journal of Virology, 2017). Before joining the lab, Seong-In had worked in clinical genomics for the diagnosis of rare genetic disorders.
