Sangpil Yoon
Assistant Professor
Dr. Sangpil Yoon is an Assistant Professor at 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.
Before joining OU, he was an Assistant Professor at University of Notre Dame, where he established the first phase of his laboratory. His laboratory uniquely combines techniques from synthetic and tumor biology and innovative techniques in ultrasound that break the diffraction-limit to address the need for imaging modalities and barriers to engineer and manipulate cells for immunotherapy. 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 deep tissue and single cell resolution ultrasound imaging with multiplexed imaging capabilities using super-resolution ultrasound imaging technique and genetically encoded gas vesicles and the next generation intracellular delivery platform for T cell engineering. His lab develops the next generation intracellular delivery platforms for cell type specific delivery. He is a recipient of an NIH pathway to independence award (K99/ R00) and an NSF Career Award.
