Research Abstract

Dr. Park is interested in the development of computational methods for high-throughput genomic technologies and their application to the study of epigenetic mechanisms. These include identification of sites for protein-DNA binding, DNA methylation, and histone modification using chromatin immunoprecipitation on tiling microarrays (ChIP-chip) or sequencing (ChIP-seq), as well as detection of chromosomal aberrations using array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH).
