1. Biostatistics
I have some articles of clinical trials and prevalence studies on psychiatric issues, which I have participated in as a biostatistics professional. Also I'm working as a director of clinical research collaborating center (CRCC) for consulting biostatistics and research designs at my medical center.

2. Environmental Epidemiology
My PhD thesis was ‘Effect of Air Pollution on Emergency Room Visits for Asthma : A Time Series Analysis’. As well as ambient air pollution, I’m interested in indoor air quality and health effects.

3. Occupational Health
Nowadays occupational musculoskeletal disorders are newly emerging issues in Korea. So, I am studying the health policies for managing occupational MSD.

4. Health Equity on Social Minority
Since 1997 (serious economic crisis in Korea), we have experienced increased numbers of homeless people at urban area. And working poor people were also increased to 20% of national population. The gap between the rich and the poor is widening continuously. So, I’m engaged in studying and developing national policies for the poor.

5. Ethics on Human Research
Most of clinical trials should be careful for protecting human subjects and practicing scientific researches. Our IRB/EC has got the WHO FERCAP recognition in 2008 as the aftermath of eager efforts over the past 2 years.
