Jessie Sungyun Jeon

Jessie Sungyun Jeon is a Faculty member in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). Their research focuses on Mechanical Engineering, with an emphasis on microfluidics and bioengineering applications. Jeon's work includes the development of 3D vascularized skeletal muscle models, vessel-on-a-chip systems for viral infection modeling, and microphysiological systems for studying musculoskeletal tissues. They are also involved in exosome analysis and investigating the effects of high glucose and advanced glycation end-products on microphysiological artery models. Jeon's research has been published in journals such as BioChip Journal, ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, and Advanced Functional Materials.

Jessie S. Jeon is a researcher at KAIST, specializing in the development of microfluidic platforms for in vitro disease modeling. Her work focuses on creating 3D vascularized organotypic microfluidic assays to study breast cancer cell extravasation and metastasis. Jeon's research includes the design of microvascular networks using human mesenchymal stem cells and the investigation of angiogenesis under ANG-1 and VEGF gradients. She has also developed microfluidic systems for antibiotic susceptibility testing and phenotypic screening of anti-angiogenic drugs. Her contributions emphasize the integration of microfluidics with biological systems to mimic in vivo conditions for biomedical research.
