Eunji’s RA CD4 T-cell omics study in ARD
Eunji has successfully conducted a CD4-positive T-cell study to understand how genetic variants shape the disease-specific transcriptomic signatures in CD4-positive T cells in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This has…
Eunji’s RA genetics paper in ARD
Congrats! Eunji identified 11 novel genetic loci that confer risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in 311,292 individuals of Korean, Japanese and European populations. Her follow-up computational genetic analyses revealed the…
Large-Scale Lupus GWAS published in ARD
A large-scale genome-wide association meta-analysis study, initiated in 2017 and conducted by 102 contributors, made a wonderful story in the lupus genetics field, identifying 46 novel loci in the human…
Sehwan’s paper published in A&R
Sehwan CHUN (MSc 2019) developed an allele-specific quantification method for HLA-DRB1 using both total RNA-seq and HLA-DRB1 sequencing data. He found highly allele-specific expression of HLA-DRB1 that leads to the…
Junho, a new graduate student
Welcome, Junho LEE, to join our team officially, as a new graduate student in the MSc-PhD program in Kyung Hee University, pursuing his PhD degree. Junho received his bachelor's degree…
A preprint of SLE GWAS by Kwangwoo and Eunji
A collaborative East Asian lupus genetics network among Korea, China and Japan with the US made a tremendous effort on a genome-wide association study in 208,370 East Asian individuals to…
Rheumatoid arthritis genetics paper accepted by ARD on June 30
