INTRODUCE

Welcome to

Bio & Medical Informatics Laboratory


Bio and medical informatics are emerging research fields that are an interdisciplinary study focusing on massive and complex information on biology (molecules, tissues, and cells) and medical (prescription, symptom, and health examination) knowledge


Our research interest covers developing various computational tools for solving biological and medical problems. To solve problems, we applied various artificial intelligence-based models to biological and medical data, including molecular data, EMR data, public health data, and Korean medicine knowledge.

Drug Candidate Discovery

Identifying potential drug candidates based on molecular knowledge.

AI-Based Personalized Medicine

Developing AI-based models that support patient healthcare by utilizing genetic, phenotypic, environmental, and other patient data.

Molecular Signature Identification

Identifying molecular signatures for disease diagnosis and treatment.

The aim of personalized medicine is not only to develop patient-specific drugs based on the differences among individuals but also to personalize treatment in order to account for patient differences in disease development and drug response.

  Be in Touch

We are currently looking for enthusiastic graduate students (M.S., Ph.D.).

We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds (e.g., CS, biology, mathematics, statistics, chemistry, physics, life science…) who are interested in ‘bioinformatics, systems biology, medical informatics, machine learning, and data mining’
