Comments on research	Originally, I was interested in life science and was engaged in experimental research at wet laboratory. Currently, my major is bioinformatics and artificial intelligence. I am trying to incorporate various technologies and philosophies of different research fields into life science research, in the context of bigdata and AI.
Current research interests	My research interests focus on data-driven drug discovery, development of in silico methods for drug repositioning using freely available OMICS big data, particularly in rare cancer area.
