Jin Young is a Food Science and Human Nutrition Ph.D. student and T32 Tissue Microenvironment (TiME) Trainee. She earned her B.S. in Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University and M.S. in Food and Nutrition at Seoul National University, specializing in cancer epidemiology.

During her Ph.D. program, Jin Young utilizes spatial transcriptomics and geographic information science methods to understand tumor heterogeneity of metastatic breast cancer. She aims to develop a computational pipeline to visualize hotspots of spatially relevant genes which will help characterize the link between tumor microenvironment, local metabolism, and changes in transcriptional response to external stimuli.
