Profile Summary

I have been working on the effect of fish feed on the development of antimicrobial resistance within aquaculture farms and their dissemination into the aquatic environment. We find that the fish feed instantly changes the microbial niche of fish tanks and increases the abundance of ARG. Prior to that, I worked on analyzing metagenomic data for a large population-based cohort study at SAIHAST. Our focus involves exploring the associations of gut microbiome and metabolome with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) such as dyslipidemia and coronary artery disease. Additionally, our research aims to identify connections between gut microbiome, gut virome, antimicrobial resistance genes, and altered lipid profiles in the South Korean population. Leveraging the extensive gut metagenome and microbiome data from a sizable South Korean cohort, we are integrating microbiome data with the metabolome of high-risk CVD patients. 
In the past 7 years, I have worked on various projects, actively contributing to the development of metagenomic, microbiome, and whole-genome data analysis pipelines aimed at tracking the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in environmental contexts. I possess extensive experience working in Linux and Python environments for metagenome data analysis. Additionally, I have gained proficiency in basic molecular biology techniques, and I am eager to expand my skill set further. Currently, I am deepening my knowledge in meta-transcriptome, and single-cell sequencing, enhancing my capabilities for more comprehensive analyses.
