Lee Do-youn, a professor at Kookmin University\u2019s College of General Education, has been named to the 2026 World\u2019s Top 2% Scientists list jointly released by Stanford University and Elsevier.<\/p>\n

The list identifies the top 2 percent of researchers in their respective fields based on a comprehensive analysis of research impact, including citation metrics and research output, using data from Elsevier\u2019s Scopus database.<\/p>\n

Kookmin University said Lee has broadened her research beyond physical therapy and rehabilitation science to encompass epidemiology and public health.<\/p>\n

Her research has focused on chronic diseases, major health risk factors, long-term trends in disease burden and the effectiveness of rehabilitation treatments.<\/p>\n

More recently, she has analyzed large-scale health care data from Korea and other countries to examine trends in disease incidence and prevalence, the burden of mortality and disability, and health disparities by age and gender.<\/p>\n

She also conducts evidence-based health care research by synthesizing and evaluating scientific evidence on various health issues to support disease prevention, treatment and health promotion.<\/p>\n

The research helps identify major health challenges associated with an aging population and provides empirical evidence to inform the development and improvement of health care policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honored to be named among the World\u2019s Top 2% Scientists. This recognition reflects the collaborative efforts of colleagues in Korea and abroad. It is particularly meaningful to be able to contribute to Kookmin University\u2019s growth as a world-class research university,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am also grateful to the university for supporting my research. I will continue my efforts to ensure that my findings can be applied in clinical practice and public health policy,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Lee\u2019s research aligns with Kookmin University\u2019s mid- to long-term development strategy, KMU VISION 2035: EDGE, launched as the university marks its 80th anniversary.<\/p>\n

EDGE stands for entrepreneurship, digital transformation, global competency and ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance).<\/p>\n

Guided by its vision of becoming \u201ca university that sets the standard for higher education,\u201d the university aims to expand interdisciplinary collaboration in education and research and strengthen its contributions to society.<\/p>\n
