Jiwoon Park

Jiwoon Park, Ph.D., is a Postdoctoral Associate at Harvard Medical School and Weill Cornell Medicine, and a member of the laboratories of Drs. George Church and Christopher Mason. She integrates experimental and computational approaches to model molecular and physiological dynamics of human health.

Jiwoon earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Chemical Engineering from The Cooper Union in 2017. During her Ph.D. in Physiology, Biophysics, and Systems Biology at Cornell University under the mentorship of Dr. Charles Rice, she developed stem cell-derived and computational models to investigate liver diseases and regeneration.

Currently, Jiwoon leads the Spatial Atlas of Human Anatomy (SAHA) project, a pioneering initiative creating the first and largest multi-center, multi-organ, and multi-platform spatial transcriptomics and proteomics dataset. Her work is setting new standards for large-scale spatial omics data and advancing machine-learning-driven analysis of multi-organ immune microenvironments across physiological states.

Her research has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals and has earned recognition through awards and fellowships from organizations including MOGAM, the Korean-American Scientists and Engineers Association (KSEA), and the American Chemical Society (ACS).
