About
Ting-ting D. Yamin is a biochemist and assay development specialist whose work has significantly advanced the measurement of inflammatory lipid mediators. Her primary research focus lies in the design and validation of high-throughput, homogeneous fluorescent assays for bioactive lipids, particularly leukotrienes, which are critical in immune signaling and allergic responses. Yamin’s most notable contribution is the development of a high-capacity homogeneous fluorescent assay for leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a potent chemoattractant involved in inflammation. This assay, detailed in her 2005 paper, provided a robust, sensitive, and scalable method for quantifying LTB4 in complex biological samples, replacing less efficient traditional techniques. With 13 citations, this work has been instrumental in enabling rapid screening of LTB4 in drug discovery and basic research, facilitating studies on inflammatory diseases such as asthma and arthritis. Yamin’s innovative approach to assay design—combining fluorescence polarization with high-throughput capabilities—has set a standard for lipid mediator quantification. Her achievements underscore a career dedicated to bridging analytical chemistry and immunology, offering researchers a powerful tool to dissect inflammatory pathways and accelerate therapeutic development.
