Sangwoo Park is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Animal Biology Graduate Group at the University of California, Davis under the guidance of Dr. Yanhong Liu. His research focused on improving growth and intestinal health of weaned pigs through nutritional intervention. His current research extends to investigating nutritional intervention on disease resistance as well as performance in weaned pigs using a challenge model. He uses applied science techniques to understand the impact of nutritional intervention on pig gut health through complex interactions between stress, nutrients, immune responses, and metabolic changes and how these interactions affect the growth and physiological characteristics of pigs after weaning. Sangwoo Park has published 9 peer-reviewed papers and co-authored 9 others.
