Research Interest
1) DNA methylation-based aging biomarker, epigenetic aging, and health outcomes
- Identification of DNA methylation-based aging biomarker and epigenetic aging (epigenetic clock) in human population
- Associations of DNA methylation-based aging biomarkers with age-related diseases (cancer / cardiovascular disease / metabolic disorders / cognitive function decline)

2) Social determinants of health and epgienetic aging biomarker
- Associations of socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental exposures with epigenetic aging biomarkers
- Life course approach for identifying the interplays of social determinants of health and epigenetic aging biomarkers on age-related health outcomes
