Scholar-generated biography
Kunyoo Shin, affiliated with Seoul National University, focuses on stem cell biology, tissue regeneration, and cancer. Their research explores mechanisms underlying tissue regeneration and cancer progression, including the role of stem cells in epithelial regeneration and the impact of signaling pathways such as Hedgehog and Wnt. Shin's work also investigates the interplay between stromal and epithelial cells in cancer development and treatment response. Additionally, they employ computational approaches to predict immunotherapy outcomes and drug efficacy in cancer patients. Their studies highlight the importance of tight junctions, cell polarity, and mechanosensitive cells in tissue dynamics and disease.
