معرفی
Kang Yun-pyo serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacy at the College of Pharmacy, Seoul National University. His research program focuses on developing analytical platforms and therapeutic strategies for metabolic diseases, with strong institutional affiliation to Seoul National University's pharmaceutical sciences division.
Education:
- Bachelor of Pharmacy, College of Pharmacy, Seoul National University (2009)
- Doctor of Pharmacy (Major in Analytical Pharmacology), Department of Pharmacy, College of Pharmacy, Seoul National University (2015)
Dr. Kang's research spans metabolic disease mechanisms with emphasis on cancer metabolism and analytical pharmacology. His work integrates metabolomics and lipidomics to investigate metabolic dysregulation in oncology, particularly examining enzyme functions like PHGDH and cysteine dioxygenase in lipid homeostasis and tumor progression. His interdisciplinary approach bridges pharmaceutical analysis with molecular oncology to identify metabolic vulnerabilities in cancer cells.
Analysis of his 2018-2021 publications reveals consistent focus on metabolic dependencies in cancer, especially in lung and breast malignancies. His research demonstrates sophisticated integration of multi-omics data to explore mitochondrial metabolism, redox biology, and lipid remodeling. Key contributions include elucidating ferroptosis regulation mechanisms and identifying metabolic liabilities like non-canonical glutamate-cysteine ligase activity, with significant implications for targeting metabolic pathways in cancer therapy.
