Kyu Young Han, researcher at UCF, has been awarded a $1.7 million grant to develop novel optical technology that could aid in the understanding of how human protein is linked to diseases. “This is my dream job,” Han said. “I am excited to get started.”
The current optical technique is slow, but if he’s successful, Han will be able to target proteins in just 24 hours. This tool could be extremely important to researchers, providing insight into diseases like cancer. “That’s why I study optics,” Han says. “My background, how I got into this, is biophysics and biochemistry. I recognize the potential.”
