He has been awarded the Asian Universities Alliance (AUA) Scholar Award in 2019 and a visiting professor to Seoul National University, South Korea. He has a patent of invention (The Korean Intellectual Property Office) regarding embryo transgenesis through piggybac transposons. He authored more than 70 SCI/SCIE papers covering the fields of advanced reproductive biotechnology such as somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), therapeutic cloning, genome editing, transgenesis, assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs), adult stem cells, and embryonic stem cells, as well as elucidating the roles of exosomes in pathophysiology and embryonic-maternal crosstalk. He serves as an Editorial board of journal Cloning and Transgenesis, Reproductive Medicine International, and an associate editor for The Open Stem Cell journal. He has served as referee for a number of International journals, including Reproduction, Scientific Reports, Journal of Pineal Research, Theriogenology, Reproductive Biology, and Molecular Reproduction and Development.
