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.

Brandon Do

B.S candidate in Human Biology, University of Southern California.
Undergraduate Research Assistant, Keck School of Medicine of USC
E-mail: bmdo@usc.edu
Phone: (630)-345-2480

1. Education: Brandon is an undergraduate at USC pursuing a B.S. in Human Biology and a minor in Health Care Administration with the eventual goal to attend medical school.
2. His current research interests concern identifying specific components and patterns of Mycobacterium tuberculosis’ secretome response when treated with front-line antibiotics of varying modes of action. Potential metabolic components of the secretome could become potential targets for future antibiotics. Also, he studies the antimicrobial effects of cyclic dipeptides against M. tuberculosis and the potential as an adjunctive treatment strategy.
3. No link yet.
4. In his free time, Brandon loves playing basketball (really any sport), working out, watching K-Dramas, and running his own tailoring business.
