He joined the Salk Institute in 1993 as the founding faculty member of the Institute’s new Structural Biology Laboratory, and remained so through 2015. His research group has focused on understanding how cells talk to each other. An extension of these works explores designing synthetic biologics to modulate stem cells and sick cells directly. His major honors include election in 1999 to the Fellow of American Association for the Advancement of Science. He recently founded joint Center for Biosciences to translate discovery to medical applications to focus on protein engineering and developing new stem cell therapy. He currently leads Mogam Institute for Biomedical Research in Korea aiming for biologics discovery in the areas of infectious diseases and cancer.
