Inkyung Jung

Inkyung Jung is an Associate Professor in the BIO department at KAIST. Their research focuses on bioinformatics, human disease, 3D epigenomics, single-cell omics, and deep-learning. Jung's work involves the functional genomics of non-coding sequences, gene regulation mechanisms, and the development of computational tools for analyzing high-throughput sequencing data. Their research aims to uncover gene regulatory mechanisms in complex human diseases using single-cell and 3D genomic approaches. The Jung Lab at KAIST explores these topics through experimental techniques such as ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, and Hi-C, as well as computational methods for epigenomic data analysis.

Inkyung Jung is a researcher at KAIST with expertise in epigenomics, gene regulation, and 3D genome organization. Their work explores how chromatin architecture reorganizes during cellular processes such as stem cell differentiation and immune responses. Jung's research includes the functional analysis of CTCF sites, enhancer-promoter interactions, and the role of noncoding regions in gene regulation. They have also investigated the epigenetic landscape of the human body, including DNA methylation variation and histone modifications. Their studies highlight the importance of 3D genome structure in transcriptional regulation and disease mechanisms, such as cancer and Parkinson’s disease.
