KSEA-CHI 27th Open Seminar on October 6, 2017 (Fri)

열린 과학기술 세미나는 기초과학에서부터 첨단기술에 이르기까지 다양한 분야의 과학기술에 관한 이해와 관심을 높이고 그 중요성을 알리기 위한 교육적인 프로그램입니다. 이번 세미나에서는 bioinformatics의 응용과 앞으로의 전망에 대한 주제를 다루게 됩니다. 많은 참여를 바랍니다.

 

Title: Genomics for Translational Science

Speaker: Prof. Younghee Lee, Department of Biomedical Informatics, University of Utah School of Medicine

 

High throughput technologies successfully capture diverse genome-wide sequence information, quantitative gene expression, and regulatory information. The generation of huge volumes of data by these technologies, ‘omics’ have made remarkable contributions to building a comprehensive list of functional elements in the human genome. This lecture will demonstrate the state of the art on how to translate these data into biological and clinical knowledge. This presentation will give a summary of research that contributes to this endeavor by focusing on the study of characterizing the systems-level properties and genetic/molecular basis of human disease by integrating and interpreting heterogeneous multi-omics data including genome, transcriptome, and epigenome.

Music Inspired by Korean Poetry: Sijo in the Settings of Classical, Jazz, to Hip-Hop

Sejong Cultural Society Event

Saturday, October 21, 2017 at 4pm

Poetry Foundation
61 West Superior Street
Chicago, IL

Free admission

The sijo is a traditional Korean poetic form typically exploring cosmological, metaphysical, or pastoral themes. Though less familiar than its Japanese cousin, the haiku, Korean sijo has a similarly rich heritage. In ancient Korea, sijo were written to be not only read, but sung. Even after the tradition of singing sijo ended and it became a form of poetry, the sijo was the most popular form of lyric poetry in Korea for over 500 years and is now considered a classic example of traditional Korean fine arts. This performance explores music inspired by sijo through jazz piano, piano/violin and cello/flute duos, and a hip-hop performance by Elephant Rebellion.

Korean food and drinks will be served at a reception following the performance.

Program

Featuring the music of:

Misook Kim (contemporary classical)
Teddy Niedermaier (contemporary classical)
TBA (jazz)
Elephant Rebellion (hip-hop)
Nan-pa Hong, Soo-hyun Gum, Soo-in Lee (classical Korean art songs)
performed by Ghibong Kim, baritone, and Sojung Lee, piano
