Summary
Eugene Yoon is an undergraduate Biological Sciences student at Carnegie Mellon University conducting hands-on and computational research in circular RNA across archaea, bacteria, and eukarya at the Kietrys Lab. He combines wet-lab expertise—RNA isolation, circularization, PAGE, and cell culture—with Linux, R, and Python-based bioinformatics to predict RNA secondary structure and optimize analysis pipelines. Beyond the bench, Eugene applies leadership and emergency-response skills as a Resident Assistant and active member of campus Emergency Medical Services, reflecting strong crisis management and mentorship experience. His prior internships at Stanford’s Cardiovascular Institute and Rosetta Institute show a sustained focus on translating computational insights into biomedical questions, and he brings 11 years of diverse practical experience spanning lifeguarding, teaching, and lab research.
