[주요연구내용]
- Post-NGS (next generation sequencing; 차세대 염기서열 분석) 유전체 기능연구
- 한국인에 흔한 악성종양인 유방암, 간암, 위암 등 다인성 복합질환(multi-trait disease, complex disease)을 대상으로 GWAS (genome-wide association study; 전장유전체연관분석)방법으로 발굴한 유의 SNP을 haplotype 분석, haplotype grouping 분석으로 질병 원인(causal) 변이(variant)가 존재할 부분을 NGS로 찾은후 그 기능을 다양한 방법으로 연구한다.
- 한국인 NRNC (Not rare, but not common)질환인 자폐증, 조기폐경 등 삶의 질을 피폐하게 하는 질환의 예측, 진단, 치료, 예후예측에 활용할 수 있는 variant를 SNP/CNV 전장유전체 Chip 이나 NGS로 대량으로 발굴하고 발굴된 후보 variant주에서 기능성(functional) 혹은 질병 원인(causal) 변이(variant)를 생물정보학적으로 예측하여 high through put 방법으로 기능을 연구한다.

- 동맥경화, 고혈압, 당뇨 등 대사성 질환의 유전체 및 맞춤의학 protocol 개발 연구
현대인의 사망 원인 중 최고는 당뇨 등 대사성질환임. 유전체연구를 기반으로 대사성 질환환자 또는 대사증후군을 (예비환자) 대상으로 예방 및 치료 방법의 선택, 영양섭취 지도, 운동 등 자구 및 대비책의 지도 등 맞춤의학 프로토콜 개발을 연구한다.
