About Us
Senior Spatial Biology Specialist: Dr. Bo Young Ahn
Bo Young Ahn, who holds an MS in Biotechnology from Korea University and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Yonsei University in Seoul, Korea, has a substantial background in the pharmaceutical industry, where she worked for twelve years in medicine development. Shifting focus back to basic research, Bo Young joined the Southern Alberta Cancer Research Institute at the University of Calgary as a postdoctoral researcher. Following this period, Bo Young remained at the University of Calgary, engaging in various cancer research projects and implementing advanced technologies, including spatial transcriptome analysis. In 2023, Bo Young joined the Applied Spatial Omics Centre to share expertise and knowledge in contemporary research techniques with other researchers.
Lead Bioinformatician: Dr. Heewon Seo
Heewon studied at Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea, where he earned an MS and PhD in Biomedical Informatics. During his PhD, he utilized next-generation sequencing for variant- and gene-based analysis, to identify genomic variants that are associated with drug-induced side effects. Heewon continued his research as a postdoctoral fellow at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto, Canada, where he developed a translational framework for precision oncology using a compendium of preclinical pharmacogenomics datasets focused on drug combination therapies to improve current treatment strategies. Heewon is currently a Lead Bioinformatician at the Applied Spatial Omics Centre at the University of Calgary, Cumming School of Medicine.
