Dr. Jaehyung (Gus) Cho received his B.S. and M.S. in Pharmacy at ChungAng University, Seoul, South Korea. He had predoctoral training in the laboratory of Deane Mosher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he studied how plasma fibronectin stabilizes platelet-platelet interactions. During his postdoctoral training in the Furie lab at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, he discovered the role of extracellular protein disulfide isomerase in arterial thrombosis. He started his independent lab in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine in 2009. He moved to the Division of Hematology at Washington University School of Medicine in 2020. His lab studies the molecular mechanisms mediating platelet and neutrophil activation in thrombosis and inflammation.
