Yeung was the first person to quantitatively analyze the chemical contents of a single human red blood cell (erythrocyte).[4][5] His research group has developed a method using capillary electrophoresis (CE) to identify the coenzymes NAD+ and NADH within a cell.[6] Such developments could lead to improved detection of AIDS, cancer and genetic diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, muscular dystrophy, and Down syndrome. Yeung has won four R&D 100 Awards and an Editor's Choice award from R&D Magazine for this pioneering work. He is also the 2002 recipient of the American Chemical Society Award in Chromatography for his research in chemical separations.[1][7]
