David did his PhD at KAIST, working on interactions between the proteasome and gene expression. He was in the Buratowski lab for only a short time, but contributed to our single molecule studies of transcription. He is currently studying viruses at UCSD.
Yoo Jin did his PhD work at Korea University where he studied gene expression in yeast. 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. Yoo Jin is now Chief Research Scientist at TiumBio Co., Ltd., developing drugs for diseases caused by defects in transcription.
Yujin worked on many, many projects while in the lab....and always with a smile! She got her master's degree at Korea University. She is now a Senior Researcher at CJ Cheiljedang, the leading Korean producer of nutraceuticals and nutritional supplements.
