Department of Laboratory Medicine
1985
UCSF scientist over twenty-five (25) years, twenty-three as Director of the Laboratory for Cell Analysis (LCA). Currently Director of the Lab for Advanced Cytometry (LAC) and the Sony Biotechnology Center at UCSF in the Department of Laboratory Medicine. • Built the LCA into one of the largest academic cytometry core facilities worldwide. • Direct contribution to grants totals well over $40M in extramural funding. • Helped design and build five commercial flow cytometers, two cell sorters, and two commercial confocal microscopes. Current work supports several developing technology fields including automated digital pathology and laser-based microdissection systems, next generation clinical cell sorters, spectral flow cytometry, chip-based cytometry and point-of-care devices, wide-field high-resolution deep tissue confocal microscopy, mass spec flow cytometry (CyTOF), and spectral in vivo imaging. Application development includes single cell genomics, new functional reporter probes for cell cycle, cellular biosensors, FRET/FRAP/FLIM reporters for monitoring protein and drug interactions, new encoded carrier technology for immune profiling and liquid arrays, and rapid identification systems for virology and microbiology. Hyun also participates in biomedical software and database design, and testing of new algorithms for cytometric data processing and presentation of results.

Scribe's core technology, Microenvironment on Demand (MOD), enables the construction of hundreds of thousands of live cell-based assays (cytotoxicity, secretion) in droplets and selectively profile assay-positive droplets using genomics readouts. MOD will enable deeper understanding of cancer, heart and autoimmune diseases by linking live-cell assays to genomics at a single-cell resolution.

Applaud Medical, Inc. was established to develop and commercialize an innovative new treatment for kidney stones, a condition diagnosed in more than 2 million individuals every year in the U.S. alone. Treating large stones currently requires anesthesia in an operating room . The current least invasive surgical intervention only renders 50% of patients stone-free. Applaud’s innovative kidney stone treatment will - for the first time - allow urologists to effectively treat 5-15 millimeter stones with a simple outpatient procedure.
