Jina Ko is the Schmidt Science Fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and the Wyss Institute at Harvard University. In 2013, she graduated from Rice University with a B.S. in Bioengineering and a B.A. in French Studies. In 2018, she earned her Ph.D. in Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania. During her Ph.D., she worked in the Issadore lab that combines microelectronics, microfluidics, and nanomaterials to develop miniaturized platform for disease diagnosis. She focused on the development of machine learning-based microchip diagnostics that can detect blood-based biomarkers (e.g. extracellular vesicles; EV) to diagnose two extremely challenging diseases, pancreatic cancer and traumatic brain injury. For her postdoctoral training, she made a pivot to chemistry and molecular biology and has focused on the development of single biomarker detection technologies. She has recently developed new methods to profile single cells and single EV with high throughput and multiplexing.
