Dr. Byung-Whi Kong received his bachelor's degree in Animal Science from Korea University in 1998. He received his M.S. and his Ph.D. degrees in Animal Science from the University of Minnesota in 2002 and 2005, respectively. Most recently Dr. Kong was a post doctoral research associate in the Department of Animal Science at the University of Minnesota before joining the faculty at the University of Arkansas Department of Poultry Science in August of 2006 as an Assistant Professor. Dr. Kong is also serving as a faculty member for the Cell and Molecular Biology Program. Dr. Kong's current research interests focuses on the identification of functional factors for host-virus interactions using functional genomic approaches and the recombinant vaccine development for avian infectious viruses using reverse genetic technologies.
