Joo Heung Yoon, MD
- Assistant Professor of Medicine
Dr. Yoon is a physician-scientist and an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine (PACCM) at the School of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh. After graduating from Internal Medicine Residency in New York City, he started a research fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA to study intravascular imaging with optical coherence tomography. Then throughout his clinical fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, he worked on developing data-driven prediction models for various critical events in the ICU. He was awarded two T32 training grants from the Department of Critical Care Medicine and the PACCM, and a K23 grant from NIH (NIGMS) to further develop his prediction models. Along with his clinical work as a Critical Care physician, he conducts machine learning research in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University.
