About

Weon Bae is a molecular biologist whose work has advanced the study of protein-protein interactions, a cornerstone of post-genomic biology. His key research areas include the development of high-throughput screening technologies and yeast-based assay systems. Bae’s major contribution is the creation of a yEGFP-based reporter system for the yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) assay, which enables rapid, automated detection of protein interactions using flow cytometry. This innovation addresses critical limitations of traditional Y2H methods—such as low throughput, manual processing, and high cost—by improving both speed and accuracy. His most-cited paper, “A yEGFP‐based reporter system for high‐throughput yeast two‐hybrid assay by flow cytometry” (2008, 25 citations), exemplifies this work and has been instrumental in making large-scale interaction mapping more accessible. By integrating fluorescent reporters with flow cytometry, Bae’s approach has paved the way for more efficient proteomic studies, offering a valuable tool for researchers exploring cellular networks and disease mechanisms. His contributions continue to support the growing demand for scalable, cost-effective solutions in functional genomics.
