Jihyun Yang
ISN-KI Early Career Researcher: Basic Science
Jihyun Yang is a Clinical Assistant Professor of the Nephrology Department of Korea University Anam Hospital in Seoul, Korea, an intensive care nephrologist, and CRRT doctor in charge. She has been interested in organ-crosstalk since the subject of her doctoral degree and continues to research acute/chronic kidney injury and gut dysbiosis. She is grateful to her senior professors who set up the basic science research facilities. She and her supervisor professor’s team have expanded animal research using bilateral ischemic reperfusion as an acute kidney injury animal model, 5/6 kidney nephrectomy and adenine-induced chronic kidney animal model and various kidney biomarker works. Jihyun’s team also investigate the kidney protective effect of probiotics with the underlying immunologic alteration. They received the 2021 Korean Society of Nephrology best abstract award for kidney-brain talk.
Dr. Yang was named one of the ISN-KI Early Career Researchers for Basic Science for her paper ‘Intestinal microbiota controls acute kidney injury severity by immune modulation.’
The ISN-KI Early Career Researchers will be acknowledged in the Editors’ Pick of ISN Journals: KI and KIR session taking place Sunday, February 27, 2022, 19:30-21:00 MYT (12:30-14:00 CET) in Room 4.
