Bongyong Lee Ph.D., Sr. Scientist, DiaCarta, Inc.
I hold a solid academic background in molecular and cellular biology and RNA biology. I have substantial research experience and a noteworthy publication history in the field of non-coding RNA, encompassing both long non-coding RNA and microRNA, particularly in the context of various cancer types such as melanoma, medulloblastoma, and prostate cancer.
In my current role as a Senior Scientist, I am concentrating on the development of diagnostic assays for cancer. These include:
1. The creation of an RT-qPCR-based Qfusion assay for the detection of ALK, RET, or ROS1 fusions.
2. The development of a fusion NGS panel tailored for lung cancer.
3. The design of a fusion NGS panel for the detection of genetic anomalies associated with hypereosinophilia.
