IN/SBLab

Integrative Neuro-Systems Biology Group at Keimyung University

We study the principles of olfaction, from sensory dynamics to olfactory perception and decision-making.

Using the Drosophila olfactory system as a model, we explore how the brain transforms complex sensory inputs into optimal behavioral choices. Our research traces the olfactory information processing pipeline across scales: from the physical dynamics of ligand-receptor binding to the high-level neural algorithms that drive navigation.

We integrate computational modeling, artificial intelligence, and quantitative experiments to understand how biological systems—from signaling pathways to the Drosophila brain—process information and respond to their environment.

🔬 What we study

1. Chemosensory Receptor Dynamics
We investigate how cells robustly encode external stimuli by studying the dynamics of chemosensory receptors. We aim to understand the fundamental limits of sensory encoding at the molecular interface.

2. Olfactory Perception & Decision-Making
We investigate how animals make decisions in complex environments. We integrate behavioral experiments and Artificial Intelligence to decode the algorithms of olfactory processing in Drosophila.

3. Information Processing in Biological Systems
We use olfaction as a model to uncover universal principles of biological computation. We investigate how biological networks—from biochemical signaling pathways to neural circuits—process information to ensure robust function.

4. Biological Algorithm Development
We develop novel computational methods for network inference, optimization, and clustering to interpret high-dimensional biological data.
