He is a human geneticist whose research focuses on the genetic architecture of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental conditions. His group investigates how genetic variants contribute to the etiology and phenotypic heterogeneity of ASD through large-scale whole-genome sequencing and multi-omics integration. The team combines population-scale genomics with single-cell and epigenomic resources to delineate the cell-type and temporal specificity of neuropsychiatric risk genes and to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying brain development.인간유전학자로서 자폐 스펙트럼 장애(ASD) 및 기타 신경발달 질환의 유전적 구조에 관한 연구를 수행하고 있습니다. 연구실에서는 대규모 전장유전체 시퀀싱(WGS)과 다중오믹스 통합 분석을 통해 유전 변이가 ASD의 병인 및 표현형 이질성에 기여하는 방식을 연구합니다. 집단 규모의 유전체학과 단일세포 및 후성유전체 자원을 결합하여 신경정신질환 위험 유전자의 세포 유형 및 시간적 특이성을 밝히고, 뇌 발달의 분자 기전을 규명합니다.
Walking the same path, as doban.
Doban (道伴) is a Korean Buddhist term meaning "fellow practitioner" — those who walk a path together. While rooted in spiritual contexts, it captures something we believe about scientific work: that real progress happens between people who support one another, learn from one another, and pursue higher goals together.
Our lab is a group of scientific companions on a shared journey of discovery, innovation, and intellectual growth. Each member acts as doban to the others — contributing to and growing from our collective progress.
