Yugyeong Kim

I am Yugyeong Kim, a junior student majoring in Microbiology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I continue my studies and research with the belief that science can make a real difference in human health, and I am particularly interested in uncovering the molecular mechanisms of chronic diseases, including heart disease, and developing treatments through them. With a passion for conducting research that has a positive impact on human life, I am actively participating in the process of deriving and interpreting real data with other experimental researchers, beyond learning basic experimental techniques in the RNA biology lab where I am currently working. I have been conducting vascular molecular biology research since September 2023, and have learned and utilized various molecular biological techniques such as RNA extraction, PCR, protein quantification, and Western blot.
