Yu Suk Choi

Yu Suk Choi is an Associate Professor at the University of Western Australia's School of Human Sciences, affiliated with the Australian Centre for RNA Therapeutics in Cancer. His research program investigates cancer mechanobiology, stem cell behavior, and biomaterials development.

Key research areas include:

• Tumor microenvironment effects on metastasis
• 3D stem cell mechanotransduction
• Tissue-specific cell mechanosensation
• Smart biomaterials for cell studies

Publications focus on cellular responses to mechanical stimuli, hydrogel development, and cancer cell migration in controlled microenvironments. His work employs quantitative micro-elastography for 3D imaging of cellular elasticity.

Awards and honors:

• Bob Fraser New Investigator Award (2016)
• School Mid-Career Research Award (2023)
• Invited lectureships at international institutions
