Sensors and Probes for Bioimaging

Young-Tae Chang studied chemistry in Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH, Korea) and received his B.S. in 1991. After one and half years of army service in Korea, he started his graduate study at POSTECH and received a Ph.D. in 1997 under the supervision of Prof. Sung-Kee Chung, working on the divergent synthesis of all possible regioisomers of myo-inositol phosphates. He did his postdoctoral work with Prof. Peter Schultz at UC Berkeley and The Scripps Research Institute. In 2000, he was appointed assistant professor at New York University and promoted to associated professor in 2005. In September, 2007, he moved to National University of Singapore and Singapore Bioimaging Consortium. He was a full professor of Chemistry and leader of Medicinal Chemistry Program of NUS, and Lab Head of Bioimaging Probe Development at SBIC, Biopolis. In 2017, he came back to POSTECH, as a professor in the Department of Chemistry, and joined Center for Self-assembly and Complexity (CSC), Institute for Basic Science (IBS) as an Associate Director. He published more than 300 scientific papers / 2 books and filed more than 50 patents so far.

Nam-Young KANG is a Research Professor at the Department of Convergence IT Engineering, Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH). Her research of interest is focused on Cell image-based High contents/through-put screening (HCS/HTS) to develop HCS based new drug using fluorescent imaging probes.
