Biography👩🏻‍💻

My research focuses on the identification of biomarkers associated with drug resistance and the characterization of novel compound modes of action, employing integrated multi-omics approaches. Moreover, a significant portion of my recent research has focused on enhancing clinical efficacy by conducting extensive analyses of large-scale biomedical omics and clinical datasets, harnessing advanced machine and deep learning techniques. In addition to my computational work, I am actively engaged in experimental wet lab research, where I validate predictions using cancer cell and stem cell models.

I am a 4th year PhD candidate at the college of Pharmacy, Seoul National University. I am supervised by Professor Hyun-Jin Cha. I earned my BSc in Food Biotech Sciences from Seoul National University, Korea.
