About
Yugyeong Lee is a rising figure in the field of microfluidic-based cancer research, with a primary focus on developing advanced in vitro tumor models for high-throughput drug screening. Her most cited work introduces a novel microfluidic spheroid culture device integrated with a concentration gradient generator, enabling precise, parallel testing of anti-cancer drugs on 3D tumor spheroids. This contribution addresses a critical bottleneck in preclinical drug development—the need for physiologically relevant, scalable models that better mimic the tumor microenvironment than traditional 2D cultures. By combining self-assembly techniques (e.g., low-adherent or hanging-drop plates) with microfluidic control, Lee’s system allows for real-time observation and dose-response analysis, significantly improving screening efficiency. Although her career is still early-stage, with her top paper accumulating 5 citations since 2022, the work has already been recognized for its innovation in merging engineering and oncology. Lee’s research holds promise for accelerating the identification of effective therapeutics, positioning her as a key contributor to the next generation of personalized cancer treatment tools.
