Cho Yoon-Kyoung is an interdisciplinary researcher involved in basic science to translational research in microfluidics and nanomedicine. She is a group leader in the Center for Soft and Living Matter at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) and a full professor in Biomedical Engineering at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), Ulsan, Korea.[1] Cho is a member of the National Academy of Engineering of Korea[2][3] and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.[4]

Education

Cho majored in chemical engineering at the

University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in 1999, her advisor was Steve Granick
.

Career

She worked at the

Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology as a senior researcher from 1999 until 2008[5] where she participated in developing in vitro diagnostic devices with biomedical applications.[6]

Joining the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) in 2008, she became the chair of the School of Nano-Bioscience and Chemical Engineering (2008–2014) and later the chair of the School of Life Sciences (2014–2015) and the director of World Class University (2009–2013) and Brain Korea 21 (2013–2015) programs. She has been a group leader in the Institute for Basic Science Center for Soft and Living Matter since 2015. From 2016, she is a full professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering in UNIST[7][1]

She has been an associate editor of Lab on a Chip from 2019[8] and previously served as an editorial board member (2013-2019). She also has been an advisory board member for Analyst[9] and an editorial board member for Micromachines. In addition, she has been a board member of the Chemical and Biological Microsystems Society (CBMS).[10]

She served as a member for Presidential Advisory Council on Science & Technology (2018)[11] and advisory committee member for the Ministry of Personnel Management (2018).[12]

Research and achievements

Much of Cho's research has focused on centrifugal

extracellular vesicles (EVs),[21][22] RNA detection from urinary EVs,[23] and electricity-free bacteria enrichment for urinary tract infection detection and rapid antimicrobial susceptibility test[24] by directly testing clinical samples of patients, which allows high precision detection of biomarkers for monitoring the efficacy of therapy and emergent drug resistance for personalized medicine. In 2021, her research team was the first to program exosomes for the purpose of energy generation in living cells.[25]

The other key area of Cho's research concerns microfluidic systems to understand intercellular communication. Biomimetic chips such as platelet chips

nanodevices, and nanofluidics which can provide nonconventional tools and platforms to enhance biosensing characteristics or to investigate physical, chemical, and biological properties of living matter.[29]

Awards and honors

Cho was elected Member of the National Academy of Engineering of Korea in 2020.

UIUC, 1998),[32] and invited lectures at the Nobel Symposium on Microfluidics in Sweden (2017),[33] and plenary seminar at MicroTAS 2010.[34]
