Our latest work on secure federated genome-wide association studies (SF-GWAS) has been published in Nature Genetics.

Hoon will be co-chairing next year’s RECOMB Satellite Conference on Biomedical Privacy and Equity (RECOMB-P&E). Submission deadline is February 5th, 2025. Visit website for more information.

Hoon received a secondary appointment in the CS department at Yale.

Hoon became a member of the Yale Institute for Foundations of Data Science (FDS), a hub for interdisciplinary research on mathematical, algorithmic, and statistical foundations of data science.

Our paper on secure detection of genetic relatives, led by Matt Hong at MIT, won the Best Student Paper Award at RECOMB 2024. Congratulations to Matt!

We are now part of the Department of Biomedical Informatics & Data Science (BIDS), which was previously designated as a Section at Yale School of Medicine.

We are contributing a proceedings talk and three posters at RECOMB 2024, as well as three talks at RECOMB-PRIEQ, a new satellite conference on biomedical privacy and equity. If you’re interested in our work, come meet us!

Hoon joined the faculty of Yale’s interdepartmental PhD program in Computational Biology and Biomedical Informatics (CBB). A masters degree (MS) program is also offered (see here). Talented students are encouraged to apply!
