Edward S. Yeung is a Chinese-American chemist who studies spectroscopy and chromatography. Yeung is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Iowa State University. He was elected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[1] He was a founding co-editor of the Annual Review of Analytical Chemistry from 2008 to 2014[2][3] and has served on the editorial committees of a number of other journals.[1]

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]
