We welcome enthusiastic students considering a future in biomedical informatics.
For prospective students
Research Internship
The research internship is a chance to experience biomedical-informatics research in our lab firsthand — taking part in real projects, learning how research is done, and getting to know each other before committing to graduate study.
What we offer
A research internship is required to join our lab for graduate study (MSc/PhD) — it is the main entry point, and a period for the applicant and the lab to get to know each other. We do not take on every intern as a graduate student; after the internship, graduate admission is decided through consultation, discussion, and careful consideration. The support below applies upon advancing to graduate study.
- A top-tier salary — among the best in Korea.
- Access to dedicated GPU servers and high-performance computing for large-scale analysis.
- Paid access to AI coding agents (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex) as standard research tools.
Requirements
- Fluent written and spoken communication in Korean or English
- A self-motivated, self-driven attitude toward research
What you'll learn
- A strong foundation in biomedical informatics(see reference)
- Hands-on experience with AI coding agents such as Claude Code and OpenAI Codex
Who can apply
We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds — life sciences, computer science, data science, probability and statistics, physics, and mathematics.
Who We Are Looking For
Our lab is driven by autonomy and initiative — a space where members with different research interests grow together while respecting one another’s passions. We look for people who want to transform from passive learners into active researchers: breaking free from the passive learning habits of high school and undergraduate years to discover their own research questions and pursue their own solutions.
- You take the initiative and hold the responsibility for your own research — choosing topics, methods, and collaborators.
- The PI guides direction, connects you with experts, and secures funding — so you can focus on the research itself.
- We share openly — through regular meetings with the PI, lab seminars, and discussion with researchers in related fields.
- You won’t be on your own from day one — the PI provides substantial guidance on your first project, then steps back as you grow more independent.
