Summary
Yunhee Jeong is a Data Scientist with 10 years of experience applying deep learning and AI to biomedical problems, currently advancing predictive and diagnostic models at Bayer in Frankfurt. She earned a Doctor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Heidelberg and has a strong track record in computational cancer epigenomics, having developed and released MethylBERT — a Transformer-based Python package for tumor DNA methylation pattern identification and early non-invasive cancer diagnosis. Her research spans generative models, graph learning for single-cell integration, and image analysis for tissue microarrays and MRI segmentation, with collaborations across Helmholtz AI, Weizmann Institute, and KU Leuven. Combining rigorous academic training with practical engineering, she routinely benchmarks and packages methods for reproducible biomedical ML, reflecting both publication impact and open-source orientation. An often-overlooked strength is her consistent ability to translate complex multi-omics and imaging research into deployable tools used by interdisciplinary teams.
