Hyuna Kim
Ph.D. Candidate in Molecular and Cellular Biology
Molecular and Cellular Biology Graduate Program
University of Massachusetts Amherst

Hyuna Kim is a dedicated Ph.D. candidate in Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where she is conducting research on breast cancer dormancy. Her pioneering work employs innovative approaches to study cellular dormancy in breast cancer by meticulously tracking individual cell lineages, leading to groundbreaking insights into this critical aspect of cancer biology.

During her academic journey, Hyuna's exceptional dedication and contributions were recognized through a prestigious fellowship from the Biotechnology Traineeship Program at UMass Amherst. Beyond her research, she assumed a pivotal role as the student body president in the Molecular and Cellular Biology Graduate Program at UMass, where she demonstrated exceptional leadership and played a crucial part in advancing the program's mission.

Hyuna's presentation at this conference, titled "Live Cell Lineage Tracing of Dormant Cancer Cells," promises to unveil a novel approach to studying cellular dormancy, shedding light on various dormancy profiles influenced by culturing environments. With her profound expertise and innovative perspectives, Hyuna aims to inspire fellow researchers and spark thought-provoking discussions about the future of breast cancer dormancy research.

Hyuna envisions a future where her research leads to enhanced treatments and ultimately contributes to the eradication of breast cancer. She eagerly anticipates connecting with fellow conference attendees to explore collaborative opportunities and collectively advance the field.
