Background

About Sujin Byeon

I’m passionate about translating scientific discovery into real-world impact by combining scientific rigor, a solution-driven mindset, and strategic thinking. With a PhD in Neuroscience and 6+ years of cross-disciplinary research experience, I specialize in in vitro and in vivo disease modeling, cellular signaling, kinase biology, and intracellular trafficking. My doctoral research centered on the protein kinase TAOK2, integrating stem cell-derived neuronal models, omics analyses, cell-based assays, and imaging to uncover mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders. Beyond academia, I expanded my scientific perspective through industry experiences, supporting mechanism-of-action studies on chronic pain therapeutics at Latigo Biotherapeutics, and evaluating emerging AI-driven diagnostic technologies in oncology and immunology as a Venture Fellow at DigitalDx Ventures.
