Dr. Dongsu Park is a tenured associate professor in the Department of Molecular Human Genetics and a faculty in the Center for Skeletal Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine from 2014. Dr. Park received his Ph.D. degree in Immunology from Baylor College of Medicine where his early studies uncovered a novel regulatory mechanism of immune cells and dendritic cell survival mechanism to induce anti-cancer immunity. From 2007, he continued postdoctoral training in Stem Cell Biology with Dr. David T. Scadden at the MGH and Harvard Medical School. During this training, he has developed a novel method to investigate dynamics of various cell types in vivo by combining lineage tracking models and intravital microscope and defined the turnover and fate of osteolineage cells and their stem cells in living animals. In 2014, he joined as a faculty at Baylor College of Medicine and extended his research to discover in vivo identity and function of skeletal stem cells in periosteum (outer bone layer) and bone marrow. His laboratory now focuses on uncovering skeletal stem cell heterogeneity and their specific regulators in the context of genetic or degenerative bone and tendon diseases in order to develop novel therapeutic strategies.
