Yea Rim An is a master’s student in the Department of Medical Sciences, College of Medicine, at The Catholic University of Korea. Her research focuses on the molecular interplay between viral infection and host gene regulation, with particular interest in Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)–associated gastric cancer. She investigates how EBV modulates epitranscriptomic pathways, including m6A RNA methylation and YTHDF1-mediated RNA decay, to alter oncogenic signaling and tumor suppressor gene expression. Her broader research interests encompass viral oncology, RNA modification dynamics, cancer epigenetics, and molecular mechanisms of virus–host interactions.
