Jong's Research
From Jongbhak.com
Jong Bhak's research is to understand and model the whole process of life.I am interested in every aspect of life. I want to simulate it completely (100%) using computers to solve practical problems such as aging(anti-aging) and disease eradication.
Jong's pratical research areas include a broad range of Bioinformatics.
I have been trained to process biological experimental data by computers. My Ph.D. thesis was on analyzing genomes.
My main biological interest is aging. I eventually develop anti-aging methods.
My current research topics are:
1. Genome analysis
Whole genome sequencing and analysis. I led a team of Korean researchers to analyze Solexa sequencer produced data. It was the first in Korea.
2. SNP analysis
Genome wide SNP analysis
I am currently interested in SNP analysis (Variome Project)
3. Liveromics (analyzing liver cancer microarray and mass spec. data)
I have been leading the bioinformatics team who analyze a large scale liver cancer microarray data.
4. Geronto-genomics
I have been interested in analyzing mitochondrial functions on aging process. We have been analyzing the difference of gene expression between rho-0 and cybrid cells.
5. Structural bioinformatics.
I have been doing research on structural bioinformatics. It includes structure prediction of proteins.
6. Interactomics.
From 1999, I have been analyzing protein-protein interaction data. See http://psimap.com.
