Having accrued more than 40 years of inimitable experience in the fields of microbiology and immunology, Dr. Suh has garnered a laudable reputation as a professor on behalf of the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University. Joining the faculty in 1978 as an assistant professor, his research interests have included protein binding abnormalities and underlying mechanisms.

A native of South Korea, Dr. Suh contributed for the initial stages of his career as a pharmacist. Working in the microbiology department at an area medical school, he was dispatched to an island where more than 5,600 people had been suffering from leprosy, a chronic, infectious disease that causes skin lesions and nerve damage in the arms, legs and skin areas around the body. After working for three weeks on the island alongside the chief of microbiology, Dr. Suh decided to return to college in order to pursue a career in medicine so that he could better help others.

Renowned for his expertise, Dr. Suh was responsible for discovering a chemical structure of a uremic protein binding inhibitor with the assistance of an NIH grant he received in 1982. He has notably contributed approximately 120 scholarly articles to various peer-reviewed journals based on his research, including in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, the Journal of Clinical Microbiology and the Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy.
