Eugene Chung is a bioengineering Ph.D. student and NSF Graduate Research Fellow at Rice University, advised by Dr. George Lu. His current research utilizes protein engineering and nanotechnology to develop novel reagents for biomanufacturing protein and cell-based therapies. Before attending Rice, he obtained a broad skillset in nanoparticle-based systems and drug formulations through professional development at the Barrow Neurological Institute and U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research. Eugene continues to focus on scaling biotech production processes and aims to work in the commercial biomanufacturing space.
