December 2017 from the master of science program in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of USC.<br \/>\nAs an undergraduate and graduate student at USC, Suh made strides toward achieving his goal. During the summer after his sophomore year as a biomedical engineering student, Suh began studying cardiac and skeletal muscle when Megan McCain, PhD, assistant professor of biomedical engineering, first started her lab at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering.<br \/>\nIn addition to helping McCain set up her lab, Suh successfully grew early-stage muscle cells that matured into muscle fibers, and maintained their survival for three weeks on gelatin. Prior attempts had maintained these muscle fibers for only one to two weeks.<br \/>\n\u201cThis platform will hopefully enable novel studies into skeletal muscle development and disease mechanisms, which can be used for several therapeutic and clinical applications,\u201d Suh said.<br \/>\nHe published this work in Scientific Reports in 2016, and has recently written a chapter in the textbook titled Methods in Molecular Biology: Skeletal Muscle Development, pending review in 2017.<br \/>\nBorn and raised in Seoul, South Korea, Suh always had a curiosity for the sciences.<br \/>\n\u201cI like learning how everything works,\u201d he said. \u201cScience just explains everything.\u201d<br \/>\nAt age 10, he moved to Irvine with his mother and sister, and began learning English.<br \/>\nTo remind him of his family, Suh wears his grandfather\u2019s watch every day. Suh said his grandfather embodied perseverance and dedication by serving as a general in the Korean military. Now, at the age of 92, he has severe dementia and Parkinson\u2019s disease. To study similar debilitating neurological diseases, Suh currently is collaborating with the lab of Justin Ichida, PhD, assistant professor of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine at the Keck School to study ALS, as well as the lab of Carrie Miceli, PhD, at the David Geffen School of Medicine to study Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.<br \/>\nAfter graduation, Suh aspires to work in the biotechnology industry while keeping an open mind to other scientific career paths.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m not sure what lies ahead for me, but I\u2019m always looking to the future,\u201d he said. \u201cStay tuned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n
