Sooin Jang, Ph.D.
Instructor in Medicine, Harvard Medical School

Sooin obtained her Ph.D. in Cell and Molecular Biology from the University of Texas at Austin in 2015. Under the mentorship of Dr. Rasika Harshey, she studied movement of transposable elements that cause genome diversity in evolution. Using bacteriophage Mu as a model system, her work was focused on understanding virus-host interactions critical for Mu DNA integration and repair mechanisms in E. coli. In 2016, she joined the Engelman lab as a Research Fellow to explore her interest in understanding HIV integration mechanism in humans. She currently participates in projects to understand HIV nuclear trafficking and integration targeting mechanisms, especially focusing on the HIV capsid interacting co-factor CPSF6 to define its role in virus infection. Outside of lab, Sooin enjoys exploring old outdoor markets and local art galleries.
