Kyuhyun Choi, PhD
Assistant Professor [E-mail : kyuhyun@hallym.ac.kr]
I'm an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physiology at Hallym University College of Medicine. My research focuses on understanding the neural circuit mechanisms underlying autism spectrum disorder and social behavior, using mouse models and techniques like in-vivo calcium imaging, optogenetics, and electrophysiology.
I completed my postdoctoral training at the University of Pennsylvania, where I investigated how specific neural circuits contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders. Now at Hallym, I'm building a lab dedicated to uncovering the biological diversity within autism and developing precision approaches to better understand this complex condition.
Outside the lab, I stay active through tennis and running. I find that these activities help me think through research problems and maintain balance. I'm always happy to discuss science, share ideas, or hit the court!
Changsu Woo, PhD
Postdoctoral researcher [E-mail : changsu.woo.0723@gmail.com]
In Neurophysiology lab, I am researching the neurophysiological mechanisms that underlie abnormal behaviors after stress such as anxiety like behaviors, social avoidance behavior. My research focused on identification of specific cell populations that modulating stress response behaviors in AHA (Anterior Hypothalamic Area) and connected to LS (Lateral Septum).

개별 회로를 넘어 행동을 생성하는 신경 네트워크의 작동 원리에 관심을 가지고 연구하고 있습니다. 특히 생물학적 신경 회로의 원리를 계산 모델 및 인공지능 시스템과 연결해 이해하는 데 관심이 있으며, 신경 과학과 기계 학습의 융합 연구를 지향합니다. 궁극적으로는 생물학적 신경망과 인공지능 시스템에 공통적으로 나타나는 네트워크 메커니즘을 규명하는 것을 목표로 합니다.
I am interested in understanding how neural networks generate behavior beyond individual circuits. More broadly, my interests include linking principles of biological neural circuits with computational models and artificial intelligence systems, with a particular emphasis on integrative research at the intersection of neuroscience and machine learning. Ultimately, I aim to uncover network mechanisms shared by biological neural systems and artificial intelligence models.

I am interested in expanding my knowledge of neuroscience, particularly how environmental factors influence social behavior by modulating specific neural circuits. My goal is to integrate machine learning–based analysis with molecular biology to dissect the neural circuits underlying social behavior and neuropsychiatric diseases in the future.
