Jinyoung Kang

Jinyoung, while a postdoctoral associate in the Synthetic Neurobiology group (co-mentored with Prof. Guoping Feng) at MIT, developed multiple groundbreaking expansion tools for the nanoscale mapping of proteins and protein sets in the brain. She completed her B.S. and M.S. degrees from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Yonsei University and her Ph.D. in the Department of Nanoengineering at the University of California San Diego. Her doctoral research focused on the delivery of therapeutics and imaging agents with porous silicon nanoparticles. She then went on to a tenure-track faculty job at Scripps Florida.
