Translation & Metabolism in Disease
Understanding disease
through metabolism.
We explore how nutrient sensing and mitochondrial metabolism shape disease, and reveal new strategies against cancer.
ABOUT HAN LAB
Connecting metabolism to disease.
Led by Professor Jung Min Han at Yonsei University’s College of Pharmacy, we study how cells sense nutrients and coordinate protein translation, metabolism and immune responses.
Our research centers on amino acid sensing and mitochondrial glutamine transport, connecting molecular mechanisms to cancer growth, therapy resistance and antitumor immunity. By combining molecular and cellular biology with metabolic analysis and chemical biology, we aim to reveal vulnerabilities that can guide new therapeutic strategies.
