Byung-Ha Oh

Professor Byung-Ha Oh is a faculty member at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), leading the Therapeutic Protein Design & Structural Biology Lab. His research focuses on creating novel therapeutic proteins through computational approaches to address unmet biomedical needs in infectious diseases, cancer, and neurological disorders.

Educational background includes:

• Ph.D. in Biophysics, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Research interests integrate:

• Physics-based computational methods (ROSETTA software suite)
• Learning-based approaches (deep learning/machine learning)
• 3D structure determination for experimental validation
• Design of neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 variants
• Therapeutic protein engineering for cancer immunotherapy
• Applications in neuropathological disease treatment

His work has produced human neutralizing antibodies binding SARS-CoV-2 spike protein RBD across all circulating variants with picomolar-to-femtomolar affinity.
