About the Lab

Professor Yeesung's research lab specializes in integrative biomedical and social science research, focusing on high-resolution metabolomics for early disease diagnosis—particularly in thrombotic stroke and type 2 diabetes—using advanced LC-MS/MS and multivariate statistical analysis. The lab also explores psychosocial dimensions of mental health recovery through qualitative Q-methodology, identifying distinct recovery trajectories among individuals with mental illness. Additionally, the lab investigates cultural and sociological dimensions of fashion, especially minimalist luxury, through interdisciplinary lenses combining material practice, psychoanalysis, and critical theory. The work bridges clinical science, behavioral psychology, and cultural studies with a strong emphasis on translational applications in healthcare and social welfare.

A metabolomic study on high-risk stroke patients determines low levels of serum lysine metabolites: a retrospective cohort study
Yeseung Lee, Adnan Khan, Seri Hong, Sun Ha Jee, Youngja H. Park
Molecular BioSystemsOA

Abstract Identifying changes in serum metabolites during cerebral ischemia is an important approach for early diagnosis of thrombotic stroke. Herein, we highlight novel biomarkers for early diagnosis of patients at high risk of thrombotic stroke using high resolution metabolomics (HRM). In this retrospective cohort study, serum samples obtained from patients at risk of thrombotic stroke (n = 62) and non-risk individuals (n = 348) were tested using HRM, coupled with LC-MS/MS, to discriminate betw

정신장애인의 회복개념 구성 연구
이예승, 이영선

본 연구는 정신장애인의 회복의 구성개념을 밝히고, 유형화한 후, 각 유형의 특성을 분석하는 것을 목적으로 하여 진행하였다. Q방법론을 활용하여 분석하였으며, Q모집단은 심층면접, 문헌조사를 통해 285개의 표본을 도출한 후, 최종 35개의 Q진술문을 확정하였다. P표본은 정신장애인, 가족, 전문가를 포함한 30명이며, 강제 정상분포방식에 따라 P표본에게 Q진술문을 척도상에 분류하게 하였다. 수집된 자료는 QUANL PC프로그램을 통해 분석하였다. 정신장애인의 회복에 대한 구성개념 유형은 4개의 유형으로 분류되었다. 각 유형별 강한 긍정과 강한 부정을 보이는 항목, 다른 유형과 차이가 두드러지는 항목, 면접조사 내용을 분석하여, 제 1유형은 ‘사회적 관계형-세상 속으로 나아가는 삶’, 제 2유형은 ‘정상 추구-잃어버린 건강을 되찾은 삶’, 제 3유형은 ‘자기만족형-자족하는 편안한 삶’, 제 4유형은 ‘자기관리형-자기 앞가림을 하는 삶’으로 명명하였다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 정신장애인을

High-resolution metabolomics determines the mode of onset of type 2 diabetes in a 3-year prospective cohort study
Yeseung Lee, Aryo Pamungkas, Carl Angelo Medriano, Jinsung Park, Seri Hong, Sun Ha Jee, Youngja Park
SJR Q1International Journal of Molecular MedicineOA

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a progressive disease and the rate of progression from non-diabetes to DM varies considerably between individuals, ranging from a few months to many years. It is important to understand the mechanisms underlying the progression of diabetes. In the present study, a high-resolution metabolomics (HRM) analysis was performed to detect potential biomarkers and pathways regulating the mode of onset by comparing subjects who developed and did not develop type 2 DM at th

Distinction by Indistinction: Luxury, Stealth, Minimalist Fashion
Yeseung Lee
Luxury

Setting out from the Simmelian premise that fashion is the site of tension between conformity and distinction, this essay enquires into the element of distinction heightened in minimalist luxury fashion. Minimalist luxury reveals the inherently divisive nature of fashion, putting distance between “us”—the nonchalant, productive, and moral—and “them”—the vulgar, useless, and amoral. Its seeming austerity is an effective mechanism of status assertion, highlighting fashion as a continual cycle of e

Seamlessness: Making and (Un)Knowing in Fashion Practice
Yeseung Lee
WestminsterResearch (University of Westminster)OA

Taking the concept of “seamlessness” as her starting point, Yeseung Lee offers an innovative practice-based investigation into the meaning of the handmade in the age of technological revolution and globalized production and consumption. Combining firsthand experience of making seamless garments with references from psychoanalysis, anthropology, and cultural studies, Lee reveals the ways that a garment can reach to our deeply superficial sense of being, and how her seamless garments can represent

The white-clad people: The white hanbok and Korean nationalism
Yeseung Lee
SJR Q2Cultural DynamicsOA

The paper diachronically examines the white hanbok as the material and symbolic site of interaction between the hegemonising and the hegemonised in Korea. It traces the changing status of the white hanbok from the end of the 19th century to the present—from being part of unconscious material culture, to the synecdoche of the colonised nation, to the symbol of resistance, to the membrane of a ‘homogeneous nation’, to the symbol of democracy. It analyses the white hanbok as a paradoxical skin—at o

Seaming Hands: The Meaning and Value of the Handmade in Contemporary Fashion
Yeseung Lee
LuxuryOA

The perpetual crisis of subjectivity experienced today means that the modern self is always partial and relative to what is “other.” This corresponds to the more individualized and coded values relevant to what is currently regarded as “original” or “authentic,” notions that are inseparable from luxury in fashion. This article analyzes the handmade in contemporary fashion as the product of liminality and our reflexive response to it—a necessary process in the renewal of existing values. This ana

Numerical Analysis of Temperature Distribution During Charging Process of Vertically Installed Hydrogen Tanks
Yeseung Lee, Deog-Jae Hur, Jung-Hun Noh
SJR Q2Applied SciencesOA

Recent advancements in hydrogen tank technology have favored the use of composites over metals for weight reduction, although at the cost of a narrower operating temperature range. Therefore, this study aims to establish safety standards for charging tube skids—large tanks positioned vertically within hydrogen transport vehicles—by examining the variations in temperature distribution under different charging environments through numerical analysis. A two-dimensional axisymmetric model was develo

The Ambiguity of Seamlessness: The Poetic Function of Making
Yeseung Lee
SJR Q3Annals of Human Genetics

Traditional whole genome linkage scans for obesity were usually performed for a number of correlated obesity related phenotypes separately without considering their correlations. The purpose of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlying variations in multiple correlated obesity phenotypes. We performed principal component analysis (PCA) for four highly correlated obesity phenotypes (body mass index [BMI], fat mass, percentage of fat mass [PFM], and lean mass) in a sampl

Apparition: the (im)materiality of Modern Surface
Yeseung Lee, Edmund Sampson
WestminsterResearch (University of Westminster)

This one-day symposium examines the contemporary fascination with the surfaces, surveying the (im)material surface qualities of our everyday environment. It brings together scholars and practitioners from a range of disciplines—creative arts and design, architecture, performance, cultural studies, anthropology, sociology, history, literary studies and social studies of science and technology—to discuss the construction, dissolution and deconstruction of the surface.

Digital fashion ideology: Towards a critical public sphere
Yeseung Lee
SJR Q1International Journal of Cultural StudiesOA

Digital fashion communities are often portrayed as radical challengers to mainstream fashion, embodying digital utopianism that views technology as a liberating force. These communities are believed to reject industry hierarchies and adopt a countercultural stance. This study examines whether they truly embody such revolutionary ideals by analysing evidence gathered through an AI social listening platform. Despite the ambitious rhetoric, the findings show that online conversations within digital
