Kichoon Lee's research investigates the genetics, molecular biology, and physiology underlying fat (adipose tissue) formation, muscle development, and growth traits in livestock and poultry species such as pigs, chickens, turkeys, and quail. Work in this lab uses gene-editing tools like CRISPR/Cas9, along with genomic and imprinting studies, to understand how specific genes (such as myostatin, leptin, and melanophilin) affect traits like muscle fiber composition, fat accumulation, feather pigmentation, and bone quality, with implications for animal agriculture and production.
Publication output has grown substantially over the last decade, rising from single digits around 2017-2018 to a peak of 19 papers in 2023, with continued strong output through 2024-2025.
