Hye Yoon Park The 42nd Lorne Conference on Protein Structure and Function 2017

Hye Yoon Park

Hye Yoon Park is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Seoul National University in South Korea. Prof. Park received her B.S. in Physics from Seoul National University and her M.S. and Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Cornell University. For her M.S. degree, she performed research on the fabrication processes for polymeric microfluidic devices in Prof. Harold G. Craighead’s group. During her Ph.D. research under the guidance of Prof. Lois Pollack and Prof. Watt W. Webb, she developed a laminar flow mixer for kinetic studies of protein and RNA folding on a microsecond time scale. She performed postdoctoral research in the laboratory of Prof. Robert H. Singer at Albert Einstein College of Medicine as an NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Postdoctoral fellow. During her postdoctoral training, she generated new mouse models for single RNA imaging in live cells and tissues. She established her independent laboratory at Seoul National University in 2014.
