About the Lab
Professor Kyunghwa Cho's research lab focuses on environmental microbiology and cancer signaling pathways, with a dual emphasis on watershed-scale modeling of microbial water quality and molecular mechanisms driving prostate cancer progression. The lab investigates fecal microorganism transport in natural waters using advanced watershed models to support environmental policy and water quality management. Simultaneously, it explores redox-dependent signaling cascades—particularly the ROS/STAT3/HIF-1α/TWIST1/N-cadherin axis—in prostate cancer, identifying novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets. This interdisciplinary approach bridges environmental health and molecular oncology.

Selected Papers
15Natural waters serve as habitat for a wide range of microorganisms, a proportion of which may be derived from fecal material. A number of watershed models have been developed to understand and predict the fate and transport of fecal microorganisms within complex watersheds, as well as to determine whether microbial water quality standards can be satisfied under site-specific meteorological and/or management conditions. The aim of this review is to highlight and critically evaluate developments i
