About

Min Ji Choi is a translational researcher whose work bridges bioanalytical chemistry and urological neuroscience, with a focus on developing high-throughput proteomic tools and investigating molecular mechanisms of erectile dysfunction. Her key contributions include pioneering automation in plasma proteomics sample preparation, where she demonstrated that robotic liquid handlers can replace manual pipetting to dramatically increase throughput for large-scale clinical analyses—a critical advancement for processing heterogeneous blood-based samples. This work, published in 2022, has already garnered 18 citations for its practical impact on clinical proteomics workflows. In a parallel line of investigation, Dr. Choi has made significant strides in understanding cavernous nerve injury, a common complication of radical prostatectomy. Her 2020 study revealed that neutralizing antibodies against proNGF can rescue erectile function by regulating neurotrophic and angiogenic factors in a mouse model, offering a novel therapeutic target for post-surgical erectile dysfunction. With 10 citations, this work highlights her ability to translate basic neurobiology into potential clinical interventions. Dr. Choi’s research exemplifies how automation and molecular targeting can converge to address pressing challenges in both diagnostic and therapeutic medicine.
