General Research Interests
Life time research interest: Bioinformatics, Genomics, and Ageing (Biological Gerontology)
Genomics: the frst Korean genome sequence analysis. 

  • Pathogen-host interaction analysis at genomic/proteomic scale.

This work is on a large-scale pathogenic interaction studies using protein-protein interaction information.

  • Structural Interactomics (the whole biomolecular structural interaction network construction and analysis. Mainly proteins and their ligands). This is a high resolution structural analysis of interactome. It defines precisely the structural patterns and topologies of protein and chemical domains using computer algorithms developed by us. (Park, et al., 2001, JMB). (Http://interactomics.org/)
  • Protein Chemical (ligand) Interaction. I have been interested in the interaction between proteins and their ligands. No publishable or significant research results are available yet. However, I am quite interested in this topic and am currently negotiating a collaboration and grant with a research institute (symposium presentation: annual Korean Biochemistry society meeting, 2002. RNA and DNA binding proteins domains)
  • SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) and SAP (small number amino acid polymorphism) analysis.
  • BioInfra (Construction of Bioinformatic infrastructure for large scale industrial biotechnology applications)
  • Molecular Anthropology. I have been interested in analyzing ancient DNA to track the origins and migrations of ethnic groups.
