Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Ejung Moon. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Dr. Moon received her PhD degree from Duke University, USA, where she was trained by Dr. Mark W. Dewhirst, focusing on the effect of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) on tumor reoxygenation with mild hyperthermia. During her training, she was awarded a predoctoral fellowship from the Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP) of the Department of Defense (DoD), USA. Dr. Moon later joined Dr. Amato Giaccia’s lab at Stanford University, USA, to study hypoxia regulation and the role of the MAFF protein in tumor cell invasion and radiation responses. Her current research interests include radiation biology, tumor intrinsic pathways, and the development of metastasis. Her laboratory investigates fundamental mechanisms of tumor metastasis, the principal cause of cancer-related death, and uncovers vulnerabilities to enhance the efficacy of therapeutic modalities. Her recent work validates receptor tyrosine kinase AXL as a potent therapeutic target in bile duct cancer and explores the protective 'FLASH effect' of ultra-high dose rate radiotherapy on iron metabolism in cancer cells.
