About
Dr. San San Yi is a pioneering figure in functional proteomics, renowned for developing innovative approaches to biomarker discovery that go beyond static molecular snapshots. Her key research areas center on enzyme activity profiling and the design of activity-based assays to capture dynamic biological processes. Dr. Yi’s most notable contribution is the creation of the Sequence-specific Exopeptidase Activity Test (SSEAT), introduced in her highly cited 2007 paper (86 citations). This groundbreaking method enables the real-time tracking of enzyme-catalyzed reactions in complex biological matrices, shifting the focus from measuring surrogate markers of activity to directly profiling genuine enzymatic functions. By doing so, SSEAT has opened new avenues for identifying “functional” biomarkers—those that reflect actual physiological or pathological states. Her work has significantly advanced the field of functional proteomics, offering a powerful tool for diagnostics and therapeutic monitoring. Dr. Yi’s innovative assay design and commitment to bridging basic enzymology with clinical applications have made her a respected voice, inspiring researchers to explore the dynamic landscape of enzyme activity in health and disease.
