معرفی
Dr. Siyoung Choi is a Research Fellow at Cornell University working in the Fischbach laboratory, focusing on the role of bone-like material properties in breast cancer bone metastasis. Her research bridges materials science and oncology to investigate how hydroxyapatite microenvironments influence cancer progression.
Her educational background includes:
- PhD in Materials Science, University of Wisconsin at Madison
Dr. Choi's research centers on bone-metastatic mechanisms in breast cancer, specifically examining how physicochemical variations in hydroxyapatite (HA) minerals regulate cancer cell behavior. She employs biomimetic mineral synthesis techniques to screen cell-mineral interactions and identify correlations between HA properties and metastatic phenotype induction. Her work addresses critical gaps in understanding how microcalcifications in breast tissue serve as indicators for malignant development and bone metastasis.
Currently conducting research in the Fischbach lab, she applies expertise in high-throughput mineral coating systems originally developed for stem cell studies to oncological contexts, advancing targeted approaches for metastasis prevention.
