It has been an honor to contribute to the creation of a commemorative booklet celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Asia Cohort Consortium (ACC). Reflecting on ACC's history and organizing its publications provided a valuable opportunity to explore ongoing collaborative projects examining genetics, environmental exposures, and disease etiology. This milestone serves as a testament to the dedication and collaboration of researchers worldwide, working towards a healthier future. I look forward to seeing the continued growth and impact of ACC in the years to come. |

Professor Jeongseon Kim’s research laboratory is located in the Department of Cancer AI and Digital Health at the National Cancer Center Graduate School of Cancer Science and Policy in Korea. Our lab’s primary focus is on exploring the interplay between dietary factors, genetics, and the microbiome within the framework of omics. We utilize epidemiological approaches such as nutritional and systems epidemiology, aiming to prevent cancer. Professor Kim also holds the position of principal investigator in the Korea National Cancer Center Cohort and engages in collaborations with numerous national and international institutes and consortia. As an executive committee member of the Asia Cohort Consortium (ACC) and a leading figure in the ACC diet working group, Professor Kim plays a crucial role in propelling forward the future of cancer research. |
