Yimon Aye (born 1980 in Burma) is an American chemist and molecular biologist.
Career[]
Aye spent her early life in Burma. She completed her undergraduate studies in chemistry at the University of Oxford and obtained her master's degree in 2004.[1] She joined Harvard University to study synthetic organic chemistry with David A. Evans, achieving her PhD in 2009.[2] She then moved to Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation fellow to work with JoAnne Stubbe. There she performed research into the regulatory mechanisms of ribonucleotide reductase.[3] In 2012, she started as an assistant professor at Cornell University, where she began her work on redox-dependent cell signaling and genome maintenance pathways. During this time, she developed REX technologies, new methods to facilitate the study of unconventional electrophile-regulated stress signaling paradigms.[4][5] REX technologies were one of the first approaches to forge direct links between upstream protein alteration by a reactive molecule and downstream responses.[2]
In 2018, she was appointed as an Assistant Professor of chemistry at EPFL.[6] Since August 2018, she has been leading the Laboratory of Electrophiles And Genome Operation (LEAGO) of the Institute of Chemical Sciences and Engineering (ISIC) at EPFL.[7]
