News and Highlights

We’re affiliated with Yale’s new Human Genome Sciences (HGS) track in the Biological & Biomedical Sciences PhD Program. Hoon serves as the Director of Graduate Admissions for HGS.

We received a NSF grant as part of the Privacy-Preserving Data Sharing in Practice (PDaSP) program to build secure technologies for genome imputation and analytics services.

Interview with Hoon is featured in Yale School of Medicine news.

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.
