Sangpil Yoon
Assistant Professor
Dr. Sangpil Yoon is an assistant professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Oklahoma. He received a doctorate degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Texas, Austin.
His laboratory uniquely combines techniques from medical imaging, synthetic biology, and immunology. These interdisciplinary approaches are broadly applicable to research laboratories for mechanistic understanding of disease and hold significant translational potential of identifying disease biomarkers and improving therapeutic efficacy for cancer and other diseases.
His current research interests and goals are the development of ultrasound molecular contrast agents for deep tissue and multiplexed imaging and gene delivery and super-resolution imaging algorithms. He is a recipient of an NIH pathway to independence award (K99/ R00), an NSF Career Award, and an ASME Rising Star of Mechanical Engineering.
