About
Hye-Yun Jung is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of DNA nanotechnology and synthetic biology. Her work centers on the grand challenge of translating complex, dynamic DNA circuits—specifically those based on strand displacement reactions—from the test tube into the living cell. Her most cited review, "From the Test Tube to the Cell: A Homecoming for DNA Computing Circuits?" (2025), has already garnered 2 citations, establishing her as a leading voice in this nascent field. Jung’s major contribution lies in critically surveying the literature to map the path toward interoperable DNA nanodevices that can sense, compute, and respond within cellular environments. By identifying the key barriers and opportunities for molecular computing inside cells, she is laying the groundwork for next-generation smart therapeutics and cellular diagnostics. Her work is notable for bridging two traditionally separate disciplines—DNA nanotechnology and molecular biology—and for asking the provocative question of whether synthetic DNA circuits can truly "come home" to the biological systems that inspired them.
