Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution

Dr. Park is a post-doctoral investigator in the Division of Marine Biomedical Research at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution in 2004. He is currently studying bioactive secondary metabolites from marine derived fungi. Dr. Park earned his Ph. D. in organic chemistry from the University of South Florida under the supervision of Dr. Bill J. Baker. His major research backgrounds were based on the isolation of bioactive secondary metabolites from Antarctic marine organisms using the techniques of organic structure elucidation with high field FT ¹H and¹³C NMR, 2D NMR (COSY, HMQC, HMBC, NOESY) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (Electron Spray Ionization, Fast Atom Bombardment), IR (Infrared) spectroscopy, UV (Ultraviolet) spectrometry, semi-synthetic derivatization and synthesis of marine natural products.
