About

Uijung Yong is a rising leader in biomedical engineering, whose research bridges advanced bioprinting and multimodal imaging to revolutionize tissue engineering and medical diagnostics. Her most cited work, “Bioprinting-assisted tissue assembly to generate organ substitutes at scale” (2022, 38 citations), introduces a scalable platform for fabricating functional organ constructs—a critical step toward addressing the global shortage of transplantable tissues. This contribution underscores her expertise in additive manufacturing and regenerative medicine. Yong is also pioneering the integration of optical and acoustical imaging through her development of transparent ultrasonic transducers (2020, 10 citations), enabling seamless, real-time multimodal imaging systems. This innovation, which merges high-resolution optical imaging with ultrasound’s deep-tissue penetration, holds transformative potential for clinical diagnostics and robotics. Her work exemplifies a rare synergy between biomaterials, imaging physics, and translational engineering. With a growing citation record and a focus on scalable, practical solutions, Yong is shaping the future of organ fabrication and non-invasive imaging. Her research not only advances fundamental science but also offers tangible pathways to address pressing healthcare challenges.
