Research summary
AI-generated

Chanung Park studies plant biochemistry, focusing on how plants produce and accumulate metabolites such as antioxidants, glucosinolates, phenylpropanoids, and other specialized compounds. Much of this work uses tissue culture techniques like hairy root and in vitro shoot cultures on plants including radish, chard, Narcissus, and medicinal herbs, examining how growth conditions, hormones, and gene expression affect metabolite production and stress-related responses. This research could interest students curious about plant biotechnology, phytochemistry, and how lab-grown plant tissues can be used to study or produce beneficial compounds.
