Research Topic

Professor Yoon is interested in diagnostic biomarker, diagnostic technology and diagnostic device. She is searching for novel biomarker of hematologic malignancy in order to overcome current diagnostic limitation. She is striving to introduce and apply the latest diagnostic technology, verifying diagnostic accuracy and efficacy before clinical laboratory implementation for patients with cancer, cardiovascular disease, and chronic inflammatory disease. She is also evaluating performance of diagnostic device recently developed for diagnosis of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
