*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/ 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.
