Professor Young Goo Song's research lab focuses on viral genomics and infectious disease diagnostics, with a particular emphasis on understanding the molecular evolution and pathogenic mechanisms of emerging viruses such as SARS-CoV-2. The lab conducts systematic bioinformatic and comparative genomic analyses to identify critical mutations in viral proteins and assess their implications for transmission, virulence, and diagnostic accuracy. Additionally, the lab investigates host-pathogen interactions and biomarkers, such as D-dimer levels, to improve prognosis prediction in severe bacterial and viral infections. Their work bridges virology, bioinformatics, and clinical microbiology to support public health responses to infectious disease outbreaks.

A novel severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing COVID-19 pandemic in humans, recently emerged and has exported in more than 200 countries as a result of rapid spread. In this study, we have made an attempt to investigate the SARS-CoV-2 genome reported from 13 different countries, identification of mutations in major coronavirus proteins of these different SARS-CoV-2 genomes and compared with SARS-CoV. These thirteen complete genome sequences of SARS-CoV-2 sho
DN at 72 h after bacteraemia may be valuable to assess the prognosis of patients with bacteraemia.
