His research interests include comparative aging in diverse kingdoms, including plant and animals, to reveal aging mechanisms among species, cross-kingdom interaction between plants and animals, and biochemistry at nano and micro levels. He is the founder and former director of the Biological Research Information Center, a member of the Korean Academy of Science and Technology, and has served on the editorial board in Molecular Plant[2] since 2013.

Education

Nam did his undergraduate studies in chemistry at Seoul National University and received his Ph.D. degree in the same field from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, United States, in 1985.

From 1986 to 1988, he worked as a research fellow in the Department of Genetics of Harvard Medical School with Howard M. Goodman. He then returned to Korea to start work as an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry, POSTECH. He later became an assistant professor, full professor, and chair of POSTECH's Department of Life Sciences before being the head of the School of Interdisciplinary Biosciences and Bioengineering (I-BIO)[3] and Hong Deok Distinguished Professor.[4] [5] [6] Outside of his work at POSTECH, he founded and directed the (BRIC)[7] [8] [9] from 1996 to 2005.

He left his positions in POSTECH in 2012 to be a full professor in the Department of New Biology, Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) and founding director of the Center for Plant Aging Research, Institute for Basic Science (IBS).[10]
