Doheon Lee

Doheon Lee serves as a Professor in the Department of Bio and Brain Engineering at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), directing the Bio-Information System Laboratory (BISL). Designated a National Research Laboratory in 2005, BISL pioneers the convergence of computer science and life sciences to solve biomedical challenges through innovative data-driven technologies.

His Ph.D. was earned at KAIST. Research focuses on Bioinformatics, Synthetic Biology, and Machine Learning, specifically developing AI frameworks for the design-build-test-learn cycle in synthetic biology. Current national projects model cellular physiology via deep learning and multiomics to optimize retro-metabolic circuits for drug discovery and biological system design.

Key recognition includes:

• National Research Laboratory for Bioinformatics Systems (2005)

Professor Lee mentors graduate students and postdoctoral researchers through BISL, securing substantial national grants for AI applications in biomedicine. The lab actively recruits talent for projects spanning AI-driven drug discovery and synthetic biology innovation.

BISL operates as an interdisciplinary hub within KAIST's CMS Building, integrating expertise in bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, and systems biology to advance next-generation biomedical technologies through collaborative research.
