About the Lab
Professor Sung-Joon Jung's research lab specializes in clinical and translational neuroscience, with a focus on neurological disorders resulting from cranial nerve injuries and cerebrovascular diseases. The lab investigates the pathophysiology of brainstem and cranial nerve pathologies, particularly those involving the jugular foramen and vagus nerve, using advanced imaging and electrophysiological techniques. Additionally, the lab explores genetic associations in ischemic stroke, particularly the role of BIRC5 gene polymorphisms in disease susceptibility and clinical outcomes within the Korean population. Their work bridges clinical neurology with molecular genetics to improve diagnosis, prognosis, and personalized treatment strategies.

2We report a 57-year-old man with bilateral cranial nerve IX and X palsies who presented with severe dysphagia. After a mild head injury, the patient complained of difficult swallowing. Physical examination revealed normal tongue motion and no uvular deviation. Cervical X-ray findings were negative, but a brain computed tomography revealed a skull fracture involving bilateral jugular foramen. Laryngoscopy indicated bilateral vocal cord palsy. In a videofluoroscopic swallowing study, food residue
Objective To investigate whether baculoviral inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) repeat containing 5 gene (BIRC5) polymorphisms are associated with the development and clinical phenotypes of ischemic stroke in Korea population.Methods We enrolled 121 ischemic stroke patients and 291 control subjects. Ischemic stroke patients were divided into subgroups according to the scores of National Institutes of Health Stroke Survey (<6 or ≥6) and Modified Barthel Index (<60 or ≥60). Single nucleotide polymorphis
