Graduate Researcher/Research Associate

Hanyang University, Seoul, South Korea

▪ Completed M.Sc thesis focused on the genome-wide identification of bifunctional genes leveraging the integration ofpolysome profiling and Oxford Nanopore long-read RNA sequencing.

▪ Developed an isoform-level pipeline to classify non-canonical coding/non-coding transcripts; contributed to a manuscript(in preparation) and multiple conference presentations.

▪ Continued post-graduation research to extend the bifunctional gene framework toward clinical relevance, including miningfor prognostic associations.

▪ Applied Oxford Nanopore direct RNA sequencing to detect and characterize previously unknown RNA modifications.

▪ Mentored junior graduate students in sequencing protocols, experimental design, and troubleshooting.

▪ Led wet-lab operations and coordinated interdisciplinary research efforts, ensuring effective integration of computationalanalysis with experimental work.

▪ Established an optimal pipeline for single-nuclei RNA sequencing of Drosophila pupal hemocytes on Drop-seq platform.
