About

Cell biology with a data-driven mindset

I am a graduate student at Yonsei University Wonju College of Medicine, working in the laboratory of Prof. Jin-Ho Koh. I combine wet-lab work on muscle cells with bioinformatics, and I like building tools that make analysis faster, clearer and reproducible.

Research

What I work on

Four connected themes, from the organelle to the dataset.

Mitochondrial biology

How muscle cells build and maintain mitochondria, and what happens to energy metabolism when this system changes.

Calcium signaling

Live calcium imaging in muscle cells to follow signals between organelles and to link them to function.

Proteomics and multi-omics

Comparing conditions such as exercise and aging with careful statistics and clear, honest visualization.

AI for biomedical data

Using language models and AI agents to speed up analysis, while checking every output against the data.
