About Younok Dumortier Shin
Younok Dumortier Shin is passionate about developing treatments to help patients who are suffering from their illnesses. She has more than 20 years of experience in developing, manufacturing, and supplying medicines to treat cancers, rheumatoid arthritis, heart diseases, macular degenerations, and rare genetic disorders for the patients around the world.

In 2018, she founded ALAIRED, a company that focuses on integrated drug development solutions to develop treatments for the patients.
“I think that the field of medicine has significant impact to our lives. Despite new technologies, there are so many people who still suffer from their illnesses,” said Dr. Shin. “I want to contribute in bringing new medicines to help them.” When asked about her childhood, “I grew up in Korea in a family where girls were relegated to housework. I always knew a housewife was not the path for me, but I had no idea what my capabilities were,” said Dr. Shin. This gave her an enormous sense of urgency to pursue her heart. At the age of 19, Dr. Shin left for Canada on a student visa to learn English. She then received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of British Columbia in 1997, an M.S. and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from McGill University in 1999 and 2002, respectively.
