Meet Our Team
Principal Investigator
Tae Hyun Hwang
I focus on developing novel machine learning and AI algorithms to advance precision oncology and improve outcomes for patients with lethal diseases. I hold the Florida Department of Health Cancer Chair Professorship at Mayo Clinic in the Departments of Artificial Intelligence and Informatics, Immunology, and Cancer Biology, where I lead efforts to establish a globally recognized AI in Oncology program. My research includes pioneering work in 3D and 4D molecular modeling to study cancer progression and treatment response. I have also directed bioinformatics initiatives for cancer biomarkers and predictive models, including leadership roles with NASA’s NSCOR and multiple SPORE programs. Currently, I lead AI-driven research in precision oncology, immuno-oncology, cellular therapy, and 3D/4D molecular modeling.

Changjin Hong
I am interested in developing novel algorithms and high-quality informatics pipelines to analyze multi-omic, high-throughput data to make a high impact in aiding disease diagnosis and therapy. My current research projects include:
Alternative polyadenylation associated with diseases
Prioritizing disease-causing genes with patient phenotypes
Analysis of the gut microbiome

Research Scientist
Sunho Park
My research interest is to develop machine learning models on highly complex bio-medical data related to cancer. For example, I have developed deep Gaussian process (DGP)-based prediction models of microsatellite instability (MSI) status using super-high-resolution Hematoxylin and Eosin (H & E) stained whole slide images (MSI is a known biomarker for immunotherapy in multiple cancer types). I am also interested in spatially resolved transcriptomic (including protein markers) which enables us to capture the genetic information of cancer in the spatial contexts. My goal is to develop not only accurate prediction models but also pattern identification methods which eventually can lead to targetable biomarkers.
