Postdoctoral Scientist - Won Lab, Computational Biomedicine

Join us as we translate today's discoveries into tomorrow's medicine!

The Department of Computational Medicine (CBM) is a robust infrastructure established to develop, evaluate, and apply cutting-edge computational and statistical methods and software for the analysis of biomedical and clinical data across the Cedars-Sinai enterprise.

Are you ready to be a part of breakthrough research?

The Won Lab uses computational and AI-driven approaches to study complex biological systems. By developing advanced tools and analyzing genome-scale datasets, including single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, the lab investigates gene regulation and cell–cell interactions. Integrating multi-omics data—such as genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and epigenomic information—with contextual features like cell size, neighboring cells, and tissue architecture, the lab seeks to understand how cells function within and respond to their local and global environments.
