UCSF scientist over twenty-five (25) years, twenty-three as Director of the Laboratory for Cell Analysis (LCA). Currently Director of the Lab for Advanced Cytometry (LAC) and the Sony Biotechnology Center at UCSF in the Department of Laboratory Medicine.

• Built the LCA into one of the largest academic cytometry core facilities worldwide.
• Direct contribution to grants totals well over $40M in extramural funding.
• Helped design and build five commercial flow cytometers, two cell sorters, and two commercial confocal microscopes.

Current work supports several developing technology fields including automated digital pathology and laser-based microdissection systems, next generation clinical cell sorters, spectral flow cytometry, chip-based cytometry and point-of-care devices, wide-field high-resolution deep tissue confocal microscopy, mass spec flow cytometry (CyTOF), and spectral in vivo imaging. Application development includes single cell genomics, new functional reporter probes for cell cycle, cellular biosensors, FRET/FRAP/FLIM reporters for monitoring protein and drug interactions, new encoded carrier technology for immune profiling and liquid arrays, and rapid identification systems for virology and microbiology. Hyun also participates in biomedical software and database design, and testing of new algorithms for cytometric data processing and presentation of results.
