Spatial Transcriptomics
Mapping the spatial architecture of tumor–immune interactions and neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy response in pleural mesothelioma.
I am a Ph.D. student in Biomedical Sciences at The Catholic University of Korea, integrating spatial transcriptomics, single-cell multi-omics, and gene-regulatory-network analysis to investigate tumor–immune interactions and biomarkers of therapeutic response.
Applying scalable computational methods to large-scale genomic datasets. My work emphasizes biological insight, reproducibility, and statistical rigor.
Mapping the spatial architecture of tumor–immune interactions and neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy response in pleural mesothelioma.
Integrating scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq to uncover gene-regulatory networks behind immune-checkpoint response and cellular heterogeneity.
Discovering biomarkers of cancer progression and treatment response from WES/WGS and bulk RNA-seq patient cohorts.
