Yoon-Kyoung Cho is currently a full professor in Biomedical Engineering and the dean of College of Information and Biotechnology at UNIST, Republic of Korea. She is a member of the National Academy of Engineering of Korea (NAEK), an associate editor of the journal ‘Lab on a chip’, a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and vice president of the Chemical and Biological Microsystems Society (CBMS). She earned her Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1999, following her M.S. and B.S. in Chemical Engineering from POSTECH in 1994 and 1992, respectively. Prior to joining UNIST in 2008, she served as a senior researcher (1999–2008) at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT). Her current research focuses on lab-on-a-chip systems for detecting rare biomarkers, quantitative analysis of cell migration, and systems analysis of intercellular communication.

In this presentation, we will discuss our on-going research on
“Lab-on-a-disc”, which applies centrifugal force to pump fluid for
biochemical analysis. It is advantageous because of the capability to
integrate and automate the analysis protocols into a disc-shaped device
with simple, size-reduced, and cost-efficient instrumentation. We report
various examples of fully integrated "lab-on-a-disc" for biomedical
applications such as pathogen specific DNA extraction to test infectious
diseases, multiplex enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and
isolation and analysis of circulating tumor cells starting from whole
blood. Integration with centrifugal microfluidic technology allows us
precise control of fluids while also reducing the expensive reagent
consumption, the required analysis time and possible handling errors. We
believe the presented result will not only improve the performance of
the point-of-care-diagnostic devices but also potentially have great
impact on global healthcare.
