Welcome to the Kwon Research Group!

At the Kwon Research Group, we foster a welcoming and highly interactive environment where innovation thrives at the intersection of disciplines. Our team brings together chemists and biologists, postdocs and undergraduates, and US and international students—all learning from and supporting one another. This collaborative spirit fuels our groundbreaking pharmaceutical research. We are dedicated to building a team that reflects the world around us. We believe that an inclusive workplace and global competence are essential to advancing science. Our members hail from diverse backgrounds, and each person’s unique abilities and perspectives make us stronger. Located within a top research university, our lab members enjoy access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. We offer numerous opportunities for networking and collaboration, including partnerships with the UW School of Medicine and Public Health, other leading R1 universities, and organizations worldwide. Under the guidance of Dr. Kwon, who has mentored more than 25 doctoral students, our members receive personalized mentorship and support. We value adaptability, open-mindedness, and effective time management, especially when navigating challenges such as paper rejections, competing priorities, and tight deadlines.
