Postdoctoral Fellow
Yoo Jin did his PhD work at Korea University where he studied gene expression in yeast. As a postdoc in the Buratowski lab, he created an in vitro system for studying transcription elongation, CTD phosphorylation, and chromatin interactions. He used this system to carry out quantitative proteomic analysis of RNA polymerase II transcription complexes. Returning to Korea, he spent several years as Chief Research Scientist at TiumBio Co., Ltd., developing drugs for diseases caused by defects in transcription. In 2025, Yoo Jin returned to the Buratowski lab as a senior Research Associate, continuing his cutting edge studies of transcription dynamics.
