- Dr. In Sun Hong: "Dr. Hong established human granulosa cell lines and elucidated clearly the characteristics of human ovarian granulosa cells. Additionally, he investigated the effects of GnRH I and II in human ovarian granulosa cells. Thus, his in vitro system can be one of the usual model systems to study human follicular development." (November 2011)
- Dr. Eui-ju Hong: "Dr. Hong investigated the properties of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and its influence on the male sex hormone, androgen, in cells. His study has provided new information about how the SHBG function in cells may enhance and prolong the biological activities of androgen, and this may be particularly important in androgen dependent cancer." (November 2011)
- Dr. Jiadi Wen: "Dr. Wen studied a recently-discovered gene family of metalloproteinases, with a focus on their function and regulation in human endometrial physiology and pathology. The results support the idea that these genes could be useful prognostic biomarkers of recurrent pregnancy loss and endometrial cancer." (May 2011)
- Dr. Fang (Cindy) Xie: "Dr Xie investigated the immunology and genetic basis of preeclampsia. Translational and clinical applications include evaluation of chronic infection and immune mechanisms in the different onset disorder, and examination of genetic variations that may increase disease susceptibility. Her work has potential clinical implication and aid identification of novel therapeutic targets." (May 2011)
- Dr. Song Ling Poon: "Dr Poon delineated the molecular regulation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone in ovarian cancer and verified the role of this peptide hormone in this disease. Her study provides insights into the progression of ovarian cancer and the development of new therapeutic strategies." (May 2011)
