Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoon-yong An is an associate professor and computational biologist based in Seoul with nine years of experience translating whole-genome sequencing into insights on genetic risk for autism spectrum disorder. Trained in neuroscience and bioinformatics (PhD) at The University of Queensland and seasoned by a UCSF postdoc, he builds rigorous frameworks to call high-confidence de novo and rare inherited variants and to map noncoding loci associated with ASD. At Korea University he leads research in biosystems and biomedical sciences, bridging computational method development with large multi-collaborator analyses. His work emphasizes reproducible pipelines and statistically robust association testing, often uncovering signal outside protein-coding regions. Colleagues rely on him for both methodological rigor and practical genomic analysis expertise, and his succinct Github bio — “0 1 A T G C” — hints at a dry, sequence-first curiosity that underpins his approach.
