Pioneer research centers

[edit]

Pioneer Research Centers (PRC) are headquarters-based centers headed not by a director, but by a group of up to five chief investigators. As of August 2022, the following IBS pioneer research centers exist (in alphabetical order):[3]

Name Group Chief investigator Research area
PRC for Biomolecular and Cellular Structure Protein Communication Group Kim Ho Min Interdisciplinary
PRC for Climate and Earth Science Planetary Atmospheres Group Lee Yeon Joo Earth science
PRC for Mathematical and Computational Sciences Biomedical Mathematics Group Kim Jae Kyoung Mathematics
