Dr. Eoh received DVM from Seoul National University, Seoul in South Korea and received his Ph.D from Colorado State University. He was a postdoc at Weill Cornell Medical School, Cornell University, NYC.
BS. & DVM: Seoul National University
MS.: Yonsei University
Ph.D: Colorado State University

Dr. Eoh joined USC and established his own laboratory in 2015, studying new adaptive metabolism used by M. tuberculosis bacterial pathogen of tuberculosis using his own metabolomics platform. His ultimate goal is to discover new tuberculosis antibiotics and diagnostic methods to shorten tuberculosis treatment duration.

Dr. Eoh is also interested in intensive collaboration using his metabolomics platform to elucidate the pathophysiology of Non-tuberculosis mycobacterium (NTM) infection; neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and alzheimer’s disease (AD); tumorigenic viral infection mediated hijacking host metabolism such as KSHV and HBV; fatty liver transformation induced by high fat diet or alcoholism; and others.

Dr. Eoh enjoys his free time by watching movies and hiking mountains.
