Meet #MSKPostdoc Jin Gyu Cheong from the Niec Lab! He studies how blood stem cells “remember” inflammation - shaping future immune responses and fueling diseases like Crohn’s. He’s also exploring links to colitis from cancer immunotherapy. #NPAW2025🇰🇷
#KnowAboutMyScience: Blood stem cells can “remember” past infections and inflammation, leaving behind molecular marks that shape future immune responses and even contribute to disease. My current research is focused on tissue side. #BecomingAScientist: I have always been fascinated by how inflammatory diseases are triggered so differently in people by things like diet, stress, sleep, exercise, or aging. This variability in the immune system and how it shapes disease drew me to science. I started with immunology, then added epigenetics, and now study epithelial tissues like the skin and gut where inflammation often shows itself most clearly. #FunFact: I love capturing smiles through photography. I enjoy how different colors and light create unique feelings, and that creative perspective helps me think about how to present science.
