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)‘.

2022년 3월 16일 수요일, 국립과천과학관의 과학커뮤니케이터로 활동 중이신 강성주 박사님이 저희 그룹을 방문하셨습니다. 강성주 박사님은 ‘항성’이라는 별명으로 유튜브 채널 ‘안될과학‘의 일원으로 활동 중이시기도 합니다.

We had time to share the direction of the IBS BIMAG with leading mathematical biology researchers and to receive feedback.

A year ago, we were in a Korean documentary about scientist life. There was a scene: we struggled to solve a problem. This work is recently published. Universally valid reduction of multiscale stochastic biochemical systems using simple non-elementary propensities.
