Dr. Seungchan Kim is the Chief Scientist of the Chancellor’s Research Initiative (CRI)-supported Center for Computational Systems Biology (CCSB). Dr. Lijun Qian, AT&T Endowed Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Principal Investigator of CCSB, convinced Kim to join PVAMU in 2016 and lead cutting-edge research endeavors in bioinformatics, computational biology, and integrated cancer genomics. Kim is an internationally renowned scientist with more than 70 peer-reviewed research publications which have received more than 5000 citations. Before his current appointment, Kim, after earning a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University, embarked on a multi-faceted research career that included stints as a faculty member at Arizona State University and a founding member and Head of Biocomputing Unit of Translational Genomic Research Institute (TGen). Since taking over CCSB, Kim has attracted a host of scientists to work on delineating molecular mechanisms of diseases, such as cancer and Parkinsons’s disease, employing state-of-the-art equipment and computational approaches. ORISP recently met with Kim and his group to know more about CCSB.
