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!

As part of a collaborative team comprising members from the Broad Institute, MIT, Tune Insight, and Yale, we participated in the iDASH Secure Genome Analysis Competition and won 2nd place in Track 1: Secure Relative Detection.

The new website for our group is now live! Through this website, we will share our latest news, publications, job openings, and more.

After moving from the Broad Institute to Yale, our lab is now back in business! We are located on the 9th floor of 100 College Street, New Haven, CT.
