Sayer Ji’s Parents: Dr. Sungchul Ji and Dorothy Ji

Short answer

Sayer Ji’s parents are Dr. Sungchul Ji and Dorothy Ji. His father is a theoretical cell biologist who has taught at Rutgers University since 1982 and is now professor emeritus; his mother is a librarian. His father is the author of Molecular Theory of the Living Cell (Springer, 2012) and The Cell Language Theory: Connecting Mind and Matter (World Scientific, 2018). Father and son collaborate on several projects.

Dr. Sungchul Ji

Dr. Ji taught theoretical cell biology and pharmacology at Rutgers, according to Bioceuticals.AI, where his son is an advisor. Earlier in his career he worked at the Max Planck Institute in Dortmund, Germany, where Sayer spent part of his early childhood. His ideas on the “conformon,” cell language and RNA are collected in The Human RNA Project, a digital archive that, as of October 2026, reports 235 works and about 271,000 words by him.

Dorothy Ji

Sayer Ji’s mother, Dorothy Ji, is a librarian. A household built around a scientist’s research and a librarian’s respect for sources is one way to read the work Sayer went on to do: GreenMedInfo is, at bottom, a library, an index that sends readers to the original study rather than a summary of it.

Their work together

The two share an interest in applying science and philosophy to healing. Sayer advises Bioceuticals.AI, a research venture whose science his father leads; the venture lists no products yet. The ideas in the archive are Dr. Ji’s own, and whether they are right is a scientific question. See other work and the disclosures.
