Jiwoon Park, Ph.D., is a postdoctoral researcher jointly appointed at Harvard Medical School's Wyss Institute (Church lab) and Weill Cornell Medicine (Mason lab), where she integrates experimental and computational approaches to decode the spatial architecture of human tissues in health and disease. Jiwoon earned her B.Eng. and M.Eng. in Chemical Engineering from The Cooper Union and her Ph.D. in Physiology, Biophysics, and Systems Biology from Cornell University, where she developed stem cell-derived hepatocyte models and computational frameworks to investigate liver disease under Dr. Charles Rice at Rockefeller University.

She currently leads the Spatial Atlas of Human Anatomy (SAHA)—a global initiative generating the first standardized, multi-center spatial transcriptomics and proteomics reference atlas spanning multiple organs and platforms. She establishes new paradigms for large-scale spatial omics data harmonization and machine-learning-driven tissue microenvironment analysis. She is actively translating these datasets and AI tools to clinical impact, analyzing large colorectal cancer cohorts to predict metastatic organotropism from primary tumor architecture.

An active contributor to the Human Cell Atlas, GESTALT, and Spatiotemporal Omics Consortium, Jiwoon helps shape collaborative standards for spatial biology. Her work has been recognized through fellowships from the MOGAM Foundation, KSEA, and ACS, with publications in leading peer-reviewed journals.
