On the 24th, CI Jae Kyung Kimconveyed at the Science Media Academy hosted by the Korea Science Journalists Association under the theme of ‘The Beautiful Encounter of Mathematics and Life Sciences,’ that they plan to release a smartphone application for sleep management utilizing mathematics, named ‘Sleep Wake,’ for free within the next one or two months.

CI 김재경 교수님이 24일 ‘수학과 의생명과학의 아름다운 만남’을 주제로 한국과학기자협회와 가진 과학미디어아카데미에서 ‘슬립 웨이크’라는 수학을 이용한 수면 관리 스마트폰 애플리케이션을 한두 달 내에 무료로 출시할 예정이라고 밝혔습니다

In a courtyard performance at the IBS building, Professor Jonathan Rubin and Professor Kwang-Yeon Choi showcased their musical talents. Professor Rubin took the stage with his trumpet, while Professor Choi strummed the guitar, treating the audience to a delightful musical experience. Their repertoire consisted of three songs, including Queen’s iconic “We Are the Champions.”

We are delighted to announce that our groundbreaking AI algorithm, meticulously designed to forecast the risk of sleep disorders, has received the esteemed Innovation Award from MEDITEK. This accolade not only highlights BIMAG’s exceptional contributions to the healthcare realm but also underscores the algorithm’s potential to usher in a transformative era in our approach to addressing sleep disorders.

The algorithm is the fruit of extensive research conducted by Ha et al., with their paper titled “A Machine Learning-Based Simple Questionnaire for Predicting the Risk of Sleep Disorders” currently pending publication.

Dr. Pan Li (Senior researcher) joined our group on April 16, 2023. 

Dr. Pan Li received his Ph.D. degree in Computational Biology from the University of Leeds and postdoctoral training at Washington University in St Louis (WashU) and the University of California San Diego (UCSD). Before joining our group, Dr. Li was a visiting research scientist at the Predictive Toxicology Branch, Division of National Toxicology Program (DNTP), National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). His research interests include multi-scale modeling of complex biological systems, excitable dynamics in neural and cardiac systems, spatiotemporal dynamics of Calcium signaling, and in-silico prediction of drug-induced arrhythmias. 

Eui min Jeong got the Molecular Systems Biology Poster Prize from ICSB 2022. His poster title was “Combined multiple transcriptional repression mechanisms generate ultrasensitivity and oscillations.” This prize was given to only one person among nearly 200 presenters! Congratulations!

From October 7 to 12, BIMAG members participated in the 21st International Conference on Systems Biology (ICSB) 2022 and presented our research.

In particular, Eui Min Jeong won the Molecular Systems Biology Poster Prize. This award was given to only one person among 200 presenters!!

2022년 10월 6일 목요일 오후 3시-5시 30분에 수면의학 심포지움이 GIST에서 개최됩니다.

On 24 August 2022, Seho Park, an undergraduate researcher in our group, won a Grand Prix at the KAIST 2022 Winter/Spring semester Undergraduate Research Program workshop.

He investigated about ‘Development of Inference Methods for Dynamic Networks’ with his advisor, Jae Kyoung Kim.

Congratulation!

On 16 Mar. 2022, science communicator Sung-ju Kang (nickname: ‘Hang Sung’) from Gwacheon National Science Museum visited our group. He is also a member of Youtube Channel ‘UnrealScience (안될과학)‘.
