Edward Yeung is a Chinese-American chemist who studies spectroscopy and chromatography. Yeung is the Robert Allen Wright Professor and Distinguished Professor in Liberal Arts and Sciences at Iowa State University. He was elected as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[1]

Yeung was the first person to quantitatively analyze the chemical contents of a single human red blood cell. This development could lead to improved detection of AIDS, cancer and genetic diseases such as Alzheimer's, muscular dystrophy and Down's 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.[2]
