Prof. Kwang Poo Chang is a Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Chicago Medical School. Prof. Chang received his Ph.D in 1972 in cell biology/endosymbiosis from University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada. He was a postdoctoral fellow in parasitology at Rockefeller University in New York City from 1972 to 1974. He held the position of research associate from 1974 through 1976, assistant professor from 1976 to 1979, and associate professor from 1979 through 1983 at Rockefeller University. Prof. Chang received IRMA T. HIRSCHL CAREER SCIENTIST AWARD in New York City (1977-1982) and HONORARY PROFESSOR - Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine, Beijing(1996). Prof. Kwang Poo Chang's research interest includes to study molecular structures and biological functions of extrachromosomal self-replicating entities in eukaryotic cells. Biological models studied include parasitic protozoa in mammalian cells, endosymbiotic bacteria in insects and protozoa, and extrachromosomal circular DNA molecules amplified from chromosomes in response to environmental stress.
