Namshik Han

Namshik joined TK group in May 2013 and crunches numbers for us. He had been educated in both Law and Computer Science for Undergraduate level and moved into Computational Biology for Master level. After his Master, he spent 3 years to participate in a software system development project at Telecommunication Research Center of Samsung Electronics. In September 2007, he then joined Bio-Health Informatics Group at School of Computer Science in University of Manchester for his PhD, where he developed systematic approaches for modelling and visualising responses of gene regulatory network to perturbation. In August 2010, he got a Postdoctoral researcher position at Molecular Cancer Studies Group in Faculty of Life Sciences in University of Manchester. His role was developing computational methods to analyse the biomedical datasets. He has worked at Gurdon Institute of University of Cambridge since May 2013. He has got particular satisfaction from producing computational methods for investigating the gene regulatory mechanism and the complex issues presented within the human genetic and epigenetic studies. He has also developed a better understanding of the mechanism of the human (epi)genetic disease by working together with the experts in the group. His research aim is to identify biomarkers that are crucial in the discovery of new treatments and preventing disease.
