I am interested in understanding the role of cancer subtypes, cell types, and states (of tumor, immune, and stromal cells) in cancer drug resistance, cancer vulnerabilities, and metastasis in preclinical models and clinical samples by integrative analysis of multi-omics and functional data.

I am currently working as a senior computational biologist at Pfizer (San Diego).

Before I started working at Pfizer, I was a Postdoctoral Associate in Dr. Gad Getz's lab at the Broad Insititute of MIT and Harvard. Before I started Ph.D., I worked in a molecular diagnostics company for two years and developed several molecular diagnostic analysis platforms and gene synthesis pipeline software module in the Department of Bioinformatics at Bioneer corporation. I also worked as an assistant research scientist at the Genomic Medicine Institute developing the bioinformatics pipelines and performing population genetic analysis.

I received Bachelor's degree in Bioengineering from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Master's degree in Biostatistics and Biomedical Engineering from the University of Michigan, and Ph.D. in Cancer Biology from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (Dr. Andrew Futreal's lab). I am also interested in open online learning and has taken relevant open online courses. The list of coursework can be found (here).
