Aerin Yang

Aerin Yang is a Scientist at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), affiliated with the BIO department. She holds the title of Lecturer at EPFL and is associated with the Oates Group. Her research interests include chemical biology, protein-protein interactions, and posttranslational modifications. Yang has contributed to several publications in prestigious journals such as Science, Nature Communications, and RNA Biology. She has also been involved in projects related to synthetic coevolution, machine learning, and the genetic code expansion. Her academic career includes a Ph.D. in Chemistry from KAIST and postdoctoral work at Stanford University.

Aerin Yang is a researcher at EPFL focusing on chemical biology and protein engineering. Her work explores methods for site-specific protein modifications, including phosphoserine incorporation in histones and synthetic strategies for dual labeling of proteins. Yang's research also investigates posttranslational modifications and their roles in cellular processes, such as the regulation of cGAS DNA sensing and NF-κB activity. She has developed approaches for de novo design of protein-binding proteins and engineered protein interactions using synthetic coevolution and machine learning. Her studies on α-synuclein oligomerization and T cell tolerance highlight her interest in neurodegenerative diseases and immunotherapy. Yang's contributions span structural biology, genetic code expansion, and the development of tools for single-molecule analysis.
