Jae-Yoon Jung
Jae-Yoon Jung joined the lab in October 2009. His current work involves finalizing the Autworks project and developing new methodologies for finding plausible assocations between candidate genes and mental disorders.
He received his doctoral degree in computer science from University of Maryland, College Park. After graduation, he joined at the biomedical research lab (school of computing) and the laboratory of integrative motor behavior (the Centre for Neuroscience Studies) in Queen's University, where he did his postdoctoral training in analyzing stroke (CVA) data. He is interested in applying machine-learning and data-mining algorithms to the various types and stages of problems in biomedical informatics.
About our Lab
Our lab is interested in computational approaches to understanding biological function and the genetic basis of diseases. Our work falls into three interrelated aims.
- Predicting functional network organization of the cell
- Network scale analysis of complex multigenic disorders
- Autworks: decoding the genotype-phenotype map for Autism
