About Eunhee

Eunhee Chung is an Associate Professor in the Department of Kinesiology within the College for Health, Community and Policy at the University of Texas at San Antonio, where she joined as Assistant Professor in 2016 and was promoted in 2021. She leads the Molecular Exercise Physiology Laboratory, investigating the impact of maternal obesity and exercise on offspring cardiometabolic health, including sex differences in cardiac structure, mitochondrial function, and stress responses; skeletal muscle properties in obesity and diet interventions; gut bacteriome and mycobiome interactions in metabolic diseases; anti-obesity drug treatments like CYP8B1 inhibitors in diet-induced obesity models; and mechanisms of therapies such as acupuncture, electrostimulation, and nutritional supplementation to attenuate muscle atrophy. Prior roles include Assistant Professor (2013-2016) and Research Assistant Professor (2012-2013) in the Department of Kinesiology and Sport Management at Texas Tech University, and Postdoctoral Fellow (2007-2012) in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of Colorado Boulder, focusing on molecular mechanisms of pregnancy-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Chung holds a Ph.D. (2007) and M.S. (2003) in Kinesiology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where her dissertation examined aging and exercise training effects on myocardial structure and function, a B.S. in Exercise and Sport Sciences (2000) from the University of Georgia, and a B.E. in Environmental Engineering (1993) from Konkuk University.
