Education

Profile

Hak-Joon Sung earned the bachelor of science degree in biochemistryin 1999 and the master of science degree in medical engineering in 2001 at Yonsei University (No. 1 private university in S. Korea).  He completed his Ph.D. training in 2004 and conducted postdoc training from 2004-2006 at a joint biomedical engineering program ofGeorgia Institute of Technology and Emory University. He was a resident faculty member (non-tenure track) at the New Jersey for Biomaterials, Rutgers University from 2006 to 2009. He joined the faculty of biomedical engineering at Vanderbilt University in 2009 and obtained a secondary faculty appointment in medicine – cardiovascular medicine in 2012.

His research is primarily focused on identification of the underlying mechanisms by which cells and tissues interact with polymeric materials from nano to organ scales and application of this knowledge to develop the next generation of polymeric biomaterials for regenerative medicine and medical device technologies. Professor Sung published 70 papers including 60 peer-reviewed research papers(9 more submitted or under review), 5 book chapters, and 5 patents related to this research field. His research in this area has been supported by the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the American Heart Association, REVA Medicals, Corp., and the Department of Defense.  In particular, he received AHA Scientist Development grant (2008) and NSF CAREER award (2010). Professor Sung has served as a study section member for NIBIB, NCI, American Heart Association (Bioengineering), and American Association for the Advancement of Science (Nanomedicine)to review grant proposals.  He is currently preparing to co-found an early-stage shape memory stent-based company (VenoStent) initially focused on development of custom-fit, moldable external stents for arteriovenous grafting in hemodialysis.

In addition to the faculty appointments in Biomedical Engineering and Medicine-Cardiovascular Medicine, Professor Sung is a faculty member of Vanderbilt Vascular Biology Center (VVBC), Vanderbilt Center for Matrix Biology (VCMB) and Vanderbilt Center for Stem Cell Biology (VCSVB) at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, as well as Vanderbilt Institute for Nanoscale Science and Engineering (VINSE), Vanderbilt Institute for Integrative Biosystems Research and Education (VIIBRE), and Interdisciplinary Graduate Program for Material Science (IGPMS) at the University central side (2009- present), indicating the range of his research scope and active involvement in the research communities. He has been serving as an editorial board member of Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, Experimental Neurology, and JoVE (peer review board).          

Research Interest

Application of combinatorial biomaterials and biointerface systems for stem cell and cardiovascular research

Research Program

The major research areas in the Sung lab are polymeric biomaterials-based cardiovascular and stem cell engineering which involve a multifaceted approach that combines state of the art biomaterial systems, engineering tools, and chemical/biochemical/biological methodologies.

Research Goals

The research goal of the Sung LAB is to identify the underlying mechanisms by which cells and tissues interact with polymeric matrix from nano to organ scales and coordinate dynamic physicochemical/biological signals to change their microenvironments, and to apply this knowledge to develop the next generation of polymeric biomaterials for regenerative medicine and medical device technologies.

Major Approach

The combinatorial design of our polymer and engineering systems 1) enables control of each parameter without influencing the others (“Decoupling”) and 2) creates an unlimited variation in the system properties, thereby controlling the properties in a “user-specified” manner. This design concept is applied to develop advanced therapeutic tools, including injury-responsive injectable cardiac patch for stem cell delivery, heart machinery for patient-specific stem cell differentiation, shape memory vascular patch, minimally-invasive vascular bypass grafting, nanoparticles for hemodynamic targeting, and nanoneedle/pore gradient arrays.
