Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Donghoon Yoon's research focuses on understanding and developing models for various diseases, with a particular emphasis on cancer and bone-related conditions. He has investigated multiple myeloma bone disease, developing improved animal models to study its progression and potential therapeutic targets. His work also extends to lymphoma, where he has identified NEK2 as a regulator of oncogenic pathways and a potential therapeutic target, as evidenced by his work on diffuse large B cell lymphoma mouse models. Additionally, Yoon has explored the role of specific molecular mechanisms in disease, such as the involvement of 7-dehydrocholesterol in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and the pigmentation pathway mediated by OPN3–TRPV1 signaling. His research also includes advancements in drug delivery systems, such as microneedles designed for synchronized dual-drug release. Yoon is an Associate Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and has published extensively, with an h-index of 18 and over 1,200 citations.
