Serkan Yolaçan
Assistant Professor of Anthropology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsSerkan Yolaçan’s research straddles anthropology and history to examine how transregional networks of business, religion, and education act as conduits of political change in the Middle East and Asia. His book project, Time Travelers: Pasts and Possibilities in the Caucasus, brings to light the role of the Caucasus and its erstwhile Azeri diaspora in connecting the modern histories of Iran, Turkey, and Russia.

BioCelina Yong, MD, MBA, MSc, FACC, FAHA, FSCAI, is an Associate Professor in the Stanford School of Medicine and Director of Interventional Cardiology at the VA Palo Alto Medical Center. Dr. Yong leads an active health services research lab focused on using large database analyses and novel scalable approaches to improve the quality of cardiovascular care. In her clinical practice, Dr. Yong performs complex percutaneous coronary interventions and transcatheter aortic valve replacements. She is actively involved in clinical trials of novel device and drug therapies for cardiovascular disease. She serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of the American College of Cardiology and leads the VA-Cardiovascular Trials Consortium. She has co-authored national guidelines and scientific statements, including the ACC/AHA/SCAI Coronary Revascularization Guidelines.
Prior to joining the Stanford faculty, Dr. Yong completed an MSc in Health Policy, Planning and Financing from the London School of Economics and MBA from Oxford as a Marshall Scholar. She completed her MD at Stanford, followed by internal medicine residency at University of California, San Francisco and cardiology and interventional cardiology fellowships at Stanford, including serving as Chief Fellow. -

Audrey Yoon, DDS
Clinical Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Sleep Medicine
BioDr. Yoon is a double board-certified sleep specialist with the Stanford Health Care Sleep Medicine Center. She is currently a Clinical Professor in the Division of Sleep Medicine in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine.
She uses her extensive orthodontic experience to diagnose and treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children and adults. Dr. Yoon specializes in surgical and non-surgical OSA treatments, such as miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE), distraction osteogenesis maxillary expansion (DOME), and maxillomandibular advancement (MMA). These procedures restructure the palate, nasal airway, or jaw to improve airflow.
Her research interests include modifying head and face growth to improve sleep-disordered breathing in children and creating customized appliances that help reshape bones in the mouth, jaw, and face over time. She has also studied genetic anatomical factors related to OSA. Dr. Yoon worked with Stanford Medicine researchers to develop a new DOME technique, and she established and proposed a surgery-first approach protocol for MMA. With this approach, doctors surgically reposition the jaw before starting orthodontic treatment. The surgery-first approach can reduce the amount of time patients need to undergo orthodontic treatment.
Dr. Yoon has published in many peer-reviewed journals, including Sleep, Sleep Medicine, the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, and the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, and she has written numerous book chapters. She has presented to her colleagues all over the nation and the world, including those in Germany, Italy, Australia, Chile, Singapore and China. Her presentations have covered a range of topics, such as the latest techniques in craniofacial (head and face) growth modification.
Dr. Yoon is a founding co-president of the World Dentofacial Sleep Society. She established a dental sleep medicine specialty clinic in the Division of Sleep Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. She also established the Dental Sleep Medicine Clinic at the University of the Pacific and is currently a program director of the Pacific Ortho-Dental Sleep Medicine Fellowship Program. Dr. Yoon also serves on the board of directors for the California Sleep Society, Angle Orthodontists, and the Korean Association of Dental Sleep Medicine.
She is a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine. -

Jeongwoong Yoon (Yoon)
Ph.D. Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2023
BioMy previous research focused on the development of toolkit for marine bivalve cell culture and transgene expression. Inspired by the experience, I am seeking to find efficient and universally applicable methods to study non-model organisms that lack research infrastructure. As a biologist, I am exploring how we can rewrite genetic code to understand and engineer multicellular body plan, harnessing synthetic biology and genomics tools.

Jong H. Yoon
Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Public Mental Health & Population Sciences)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research seeks to discover the brain mechanisms responsible for schizophrenia and to translate this knowledge into the clinic to improve how we diagnose and treat this condition. Towards these ends, our group has been developing cutting-edge neuroimaging tools to identify neurobiological abnormalities and test novel systems-level disease models of psychosis and schizophrenia directly in individuals with these conditions.
We have been particularly interested in the role of neocortical-basal ganglia circuit dysfunction. A working hypothesis is that some of the core symptoms of schizophrenia are attributable to impairments in neocortical function that results in disconnectivity with components of the basal ganglia and dysregulation of their activity. The Yoon Lab has developed new high-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging methods to more precisely measure the function of basal ganglia components, which given their small size and location deep within the brain has been challenging. This includes ways to measure the activity of nuclei that store and control the release of dopamine throughout the brain, a neurochemical that is one of the most important factors in the production of psychosis in schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric conditions. -
