About the Lab

Professor Hyunmi Park's research spans multiple interdisciplinary domains, focusing on medical education innovation, molecular mechanisms in cancer biology, and the integration of art with science. Her lab investigates transformative teaching methodologies in medical education—particularly flipped learning and ICT-based platforms—amid evolving generational and public health challenges. In biomedical research, her team explores epigenetic regulation, such as HDAC3's role in MDR1 gene expression, and surgical oncology techniques like complete mesocolic excision for improved cancer outcomes. Additionally, she engages in innovative humanities-science collaborations, exemplified by her exploration of symbolic representations in art, such as the red discs in Klimt’s 'The Kiss,' through a medical and historical lens. These diverse yet interconnected research directions reflect her commitment to advancing education, translational science, and interdisciplinary understanding.

How the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic changed medical education and deans’ perspectives in Korean medical schools
Hyunmi Park, Young‐Mee Lee, Ming‐Jung Ho, Hee Chul Han
SJR Q2Korean journal of medical educationOA

The deans' perspective changes has shown the possibility of the deans' generation aligning more closely with the current Generation Z medical students. They projected further innovations in teaching and learning methods, especially applying flipped learning and highlighted the need to invest in faculty development so medical educators can be equipped and competent in diverse ICT (information and communications technology) learning platforms. Also, the need for advance preparations in medical edu

Nuclear localization signal domain of HDAC3 is necessary and sufficient for the expression regulation of MDR1
Hyunmi Park, Young Mi Kim, Deokbum Park, Dooil Jeoung
SJR Q1BMB ReportsOA

Histone acetylation/deacetylation has been known to be associated with the transcriptional regulation of various genes. The role of histone deacetylase-3 in the expression regulation of MDR1 was investigated. The expression level of HDAC3 showed an inverse relationship with the expression level of MDR1. Wild-type HDAC3, but not catalytic mutant HDAC3(S424A), negatively regulated the expression of MDR1. Wild-type HDAC3, but not catalytic mutant HDAC3(S424A), showed binding to the promoter sequenc

SJR Q1Annals of Gastroenterological SurgeryOA

Complete mesocolic excision (CME) with central vascular ligation (CVL) follows the same principles as the total mesorectal excision (TME) in the rectum of following the embryological planes for right-sided cancers. The number of lymph nodes yielded increased with a resultant improvement in the oncological outcomes and by reducing local recurrence rates.

Mediating Effects of Emotional Intelligence and Career Adaptability between Emotional and Personality-related Career Decision Making Difficulties and Occupational Engagement with University Students: Focusing on the Career Adaption Model
Hyunmi Park, Nahyun Yoo
The Journal of Career Education Research

본 연구는 정서·성격 관련 진로결정 어려움이 진로적응과정과 어떻게 관련되는지 Savickas (2005)가 제안한 진로적응모형을 토대로 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 적응준비 수준으로 정서지능, 적응자원 수준으로 진로적응성, 적응반응 수준으로 진로관여행동을 선정하여 정서·성격 관련 진로결정 어려움과 진로관여행동의 관계에서 정서지능과 진로적응성의 순차적 매개효과를 검증하였다. 서울, 부산, 경남 지역 소재 대학의 대학생 342명(남 132명, 여 210명)을 대상으로 온라인 설문을 진행하였고, SPSS PROCESS macro를 사용해 자료를 분석하였다. 분석결과 정서․성격 관련 진로결정 어려움이 진로관여행동에 유의한 부적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 정서·성격 관련 진로결정 어려움과 진로관여행동의 관계에서 정서지능과 진로적응성의 순차적 매개효과가 유의하게 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해 진로상담에서 정서·성격 관련 진로결정 어려움에 대한 이해와 진로적응모형으로 구체화한 진로적응성
