Park Lab - Environmental Epidemiology of Air Pollution and Heavy Metals

Sung Kyun is interested in health effects of air pollution and metals exposure in aging populations. He has been working on the associations between air pollution, lead and subclinical cardiovascular outcomes, such as heart rate variability and homocysteine, using the Normative Aging Study. Sung Kyun is working on age-related diseases, such as impairment in renal function, age-related cataract and hearing loss. He is also interested in gene-environment and nutrient-environment interactions. Sung Kyun is expanding his research interests including inflammatory and oxidative stress markers, and other neurodegenerative diseases.
