Yeong Chan Ryu
Postdoctoral Fellow (NRF Postdoctoral Fellowship)
I received B.S. and Ph.D. in Biotechnology from Yonsei University.
During my Ph.D., I researched the development of Wnt activators to treat hair loss via activating hair follicle stem cells.
In the Yang lab, I'm interested in the regulation of stem cell niches for skin regeneration.
Dongeun Lee
Graduate Student (Asan Foundation Biomedical Science Graduate Fellow)
I got a BS at KAIST as a major in Biological Sciences and a minor in Computer science.
I wonder how cell fates can be altered and regulated dynamically and want to solve these questions with adult stem cells and bioinformatics.
Seulki You
Graduate Student (Donghwa Industry Foundation Graduate Fellow)
I majored in biology at KAIST. I am highly interested in tissue regeneration of the endometrium epithelium because it is very dynamic and regenerative.
Daeryeok Ko
Graduate Student
I received B.S. in Biological Sciences and Computer Science from KAIST. I'm interested in computational/informatics approaches in biology, especially with single cell technologies.
Seung Yeon Lee
Graduate Student
I received B.S. in Biological Sciences. I’m interested in skin, especially the mechanisms of keratin gene cluster. It could provide clues to many unanswered questions.
Sungwook Shim
Graduate Student
I received a B.S. in biological science at KAIST. It is interesting to figure out how the stem cells affected by their niches and how they can play an active role in their niche formation. I want to study how stem cells respond to environment changes and investigate the biological meaning of it.
Isaac Kim
Graduate Student
I received B.S. in Biological Sciences from KAIST. I want to understand the dynamic interaction of adult stem cells and their niche and how it is properly regulated. I hope my research journey will improve our understanding of tissue regeneration and help others who suffer from limited regeneration ability.
Seokmin Yun
Graduate Student
Stem cells reside in the unique microenvironment called the SC niche.
Their interactions are bidirectional and must be tightly regulated to conduct proper stem cell behaviors.
Then, how stem cells maintain their identities within dynamic SC-niches, and what makes them differentiate into specific cell types?
I have stepped up to answer this intriguing question.
Jiwon Lim
Graduate Student
I received B.S. in Biological Sciences from Yonsei University.
I am interested in the molecular mechanisms of tissue regeneration and related diseases, as they hold valuable insights for unresolved questions.
Through my research, I hope to contribute to the development of treatments for skin diseases.

Seungeun Roh
Graduate Student (Sosun Foundation Graduate Fellow)
I graduated from KAIST with a major in Biological Sciences and a minor in Computer Science. Since I was young, I have been fascinated with stem cells and their regenerative system in organisms. To investigate them, I am also focusing on organoid system and trying to make more in-vivo-like system using them. My major work is studying endometrium epithelial physiology using organoid.
Jiyeon Lee
Graduate Student
I'm interested in adult stem cells and tissue regeneration. I hope my research can help improve human health. I especially want to find answers to diseases that have yet to be conquered.
Yoonzee Ee
Creative Director
I am an undergraduate student in the Department of Industrial Design of KAIST. Graphic design and user interface design are my interest. I draw visual illustrations for Yang Lab's publications.
