About

Jeong Hyun Lee is a pioneering researcher in advanced biological imaging and cellular phenotyping, with a focus on developing innovative techniques for immunocytochemistry (ICC) and immunofluorescence microscopy. His most notable contribution is the development of lossless immunocytochemistry using photo-polymerized hydrogel thin-films, a breakthrough method that addresses a critical limitation in standard ICC protocols. While conventional ICC often fails with small cell samples containing fewer than 10,000 cells due to significant sample loss, Lee's hydrogel-based approach enables reliable, high-quality phenotyping even with minimal cellular material. This work, published in 2020 and garnering 4 citations, demonstrates his ability to solve practical challenges in biological research through materials science and engineering. Lee's research sits at the intersection of polymer chemistry, cell biology, and microscopy, offering tools that enhance the sensitivity and reproducibility of cellular analysis. His contributions are particularly valuable for applications in rare cell detection, such as circulating tumor cells or stem cell populations, where sample conservation is paramount. By enabling lossless ICC, Lee is helping to advance both basic research and clinical diagnostics.
