Dr. Yoo is currently an Associate Professor of Department of Nursing at the Chung-Ang University. Dr. Yoo received B.S and M.S degree in nursing from Yonsei University, and Ph.D. degree in physiology from Seoul National University College of Medicine. After getting phD, she worked as postdoctoral fellow in University of Illinois at Chicago and Univerisity of Chicago.
Dr. Yoo is responsible for leading the integration between nursing and physiological research. Her research interests include cardiovascular pathophysiology and pathogenic mechanisms of chronic diseases, including diabetes, breast cancer, pulmonary hypertension and metabolic syndrome. In another line of research, Dr. Yoo focuses on identifying genetic variation and biomarker related to vascular endothelial dysfunction based on healthcare big data analysis. Her current source of research funding is from National Research Foundation(NRF).
