Research Interests:

Scientist in molecular pathology focusing on cancer genomics, tumor evolution, and tumor microenvironment biology, integrating multi-omics, digital pathology, and translational models to advance precision oncology.

About me:

Outside the lab, I enjoy tennis, minhwa, playing the piano, flute, and oboe and good food.

Research Interests:

Thoracic surgeon and scientist focused on translational cancer research, integrating liquid biopsy, multi-omics, digital pathology, and clinical outcomes to improve precision oncology in thoracic malignancies.

About me:

Outside the lab, I enjoy reading, music, travel, reflective poetry, rowing, tennis, long walks, good food, and quiet, meaningful conversations.

Research Interests:

My research focuses on developing AI-driven pipelines linking H&E-derived histological features, spatial transcriptomics, and immune contexture to predict prognosis and treatment response in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

About me:

Outside the lab, I enjoy jogging and walking while listening to music. And I love spending relaxing time with my two lovely cats, Jjini and Ttori.

Research Interests:

My research focuses on advancing liquid biopsy technologies for precision oncology in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In particular, I explore circulating tumor cells (CTCs) as a comprehensive analyte for next-generation sequencing–based diagnostics, comparing their potential to circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). 

About me:

Outside the lab, I enjoy staying active through jogging, calisthenics, and various team sports. I’m also passionate about photography and videography and their creative editing.

Research Interests:

My research focuses on identifying high-risk patients for recurrence in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Using retrospective and prospective data, I aim to develop and validate a predictive risk score to improve postoperative risk stratification.

About me:

Outside the lab, I enjoy reading - particularly novels by Stephen King, exploring new cultures and languages, and dancing.

Research Interests:

My research examines the clinical impact of thymectomy in myasthenia gravis, with and without thymoma, focusing on pathological and disease-specific factors and their relationship to timing of intervention and patient outcomes, with the aim of identifying criteria for optimal treatment timing.

About me:

Outside the lab, I enjoy playing the guitar and taking calm walks while listening to podcasts. I also value spending quality time with my family and friends through shared meals and travelling together.

Research Interests:

My research examines the implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) concepts in lung cancer and their association with pathological outcomes, aiming to link perioperative care pathways with findings from pathological analysis.

About me:

I am a medical student in my 9th semester and currently conducting my doctoral research in the research group of Dr. Noh in the Department of Pathology.

About me:

Outside the lab, I enjoy creative pursuits such as drawing and painting, as well as 3D modeling and sculpting. Besides that, I enjoy doing sports like running, swimming, and weight lifting.
