Research Focus:
Our laboratory focuses on neurodegenerative diseases, spinal muscular aging, and RNA biology. We investigate molecular mechanisms and regulatory networks underlying disease and aging processes by integrating multi-omics approaches. The lab maintains stable production of high-quality datasets to support long-term, biologically driven research programs.

Position Overview:
This is a research-oriented bioinformatics position responsible for extracting biologically meaningful insights from multi-omics datasets. The majority of the work involves customized analysis and biological interpretation, complemented by routine pipeline execution and workflow evaluation or optimization.
In recent years, our research program has increasingly emphasized single-cell multi-omics, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing to characterize cellular and molecular changes associated with aging and neurodegeneration.
Initial projects will be conducted in close collaboration with a senior bioinformatician, with the expectation of transitioning toward independent leadership of customized analyses within the first year.
This is a research-oriented bioinformatics position responsible for extracting biologically meaningful insights from multi-omics datasets. The majority of the work involves customized analysis and biological interpretation, complemented by routine pipeline execution and workflow evaluation or optimization.

Laboratory Strengths:
The laboratory provides stable access to high-quality multi-omics datasets and is led by a bioinformatician with over ten years of experience. Authorship is assigned based on actual contribution, and the lab maintains consistent publication output. Funding support is secured for at least five years, and the group sustains long-term domestic and international collaborations, offering a stable and growth-oriented research environment.

We conduct research in diverse areas of computational biology, data science and machine learning, including multi-omics data integration of cancers, optimal treatment design for heterogeneous and evolving tumors, single-cell omics data analysis, evolution of biomolecular networks and human populations, topological characterization of networks, and unsupverised learning using deep neural networks. Group members will gain experience in learning domain knowledge, performing scientific reasoning, formulating and solving mathematical models, developing algorithms, writing programs and using existing packages, collecting and analyzing big data, and interacting closely with international and domestic collaborators. We look for motivated persons curious about open scientific problems and willing to dedicate energy and time to solve them.

Prospective candidate should have a strong interest in chromatin biology, gene regulation and/or functional genomics. We investigate how disease-associated mutations in chromatin regulators and histones disrupt gene regulation.
