Joon-Yong An

Dr. An is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biosystem and Biomedical Science at Korea University.안준용 교수는 고려대학교 바이오시스템의과학부 부교수입니다.

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.

Dr. An's research advances cross-ancestry genetic discovery by integrating Korean ASD cohorts with international datasets, expanding the understanding of ASD beyond European-centric studies. His laboratory also develops computational frameworks for noncoding variant association and applies integrative analyses of genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic data to connect genetic variation with neural function and clinical outcomes.한국 ASD 코호트를 국제 데이터셋과 통합하여 다민족 유전적 발견을 진전시키며, 유럽 중심 연구를 넘어 ASD에 대한 이해를 확장하고 있습니다. 또한 비코딩 변이 연관 분석을 위한 계산 프레임워크를 개발하고, 유전체, 전사체, 후성유전체 데이터의 통합 분석을 적용하여 유전적 변이와 신경 기능 및 임상 결과를 연결합니다.
