Koh Gou Young

Koh Gou Young is a biology topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Koh Gou Young rather than just read about it. In short: Koh Gou Young (Korean: 고규영; born November 18, 1957) is a researcher from South Korea studying organ vasculature and lymphatic vessels with an interest in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, adipogenesis, and cardiogenesis. His research has contributed to the publication of more than 200 journal articles, including multiple publications on how Tie2 deficits are related to sepsis, blood-retinal barrier damage, and an imb…

Key takeaways

Koh Gou Young belongs to biology; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Koh Gou Young to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Koh Gou Young from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Koh Gou Young (Korean: 고규영; born November 18, 1957) is a researcher from South Korea studying organ vasculature and lymphatic vessels with an interest in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, adipogenesis, and cardiogenesis. His research has contributed to the publication of more than 200 journal articles, including multiple publications on how Tie2 deficits are related to sepsis, blood-retinal barrier damage, and an imbalance of intraocular pressure in Schlemm's canal which induces glaucoma. He is a distinguished professor at KAIST and the founding director of the Institute for Basic Science Center for Vascular Research.

Education Koh received an M.D. and PhD in 1983 and 1991, respectively, from Chonbuk National University Medical School in Jeonju.

Career Koh worked in the US for five years as a research fellow at Cornell University and then as a research associate at Indiana University. Upon returning to Korea in 1995, Koh started as an assistant professor and finished as an associate professor in Chonbuk National University Medical School before teaching at Pohang University of Science and Technology as an associate professor from 2001 until 2003. From 2003 to 2010 he was a professor in KAIST in the Department of Biological Science before becoming a distinguished professor in 2011 in the Graduate School of Medical Science and Engineering. He became the founding director of the IBS Center for Vascular Research in July 2015; their first in the field of basic medical sciences. He became a scientific member at the Max Planck Institute at Meunster in 2016 and a member of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Korea in 2022. He was on the editorial boards of Blood and Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology and is currently on the editorial board at Cancer Research.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Koh Gou Young

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Koh Gou Young claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Koh Gou Young before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Koh Gou Young ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Koh Gou Young

In research: Koh Gou Young appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Koh Gou Young in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Koh Gou Young is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1957 births, Academic staff of KAIST, Institute for Basic Science, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Koh Gou Young outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
