- The College of Biotechnology and Bioengineering at SKKU and the Bio Center of Gyeonggi Business & Science Accelerator signed a business agreement The College of Biotechnology and Bioengineering at Sungkyunkwan University (Dean, Sukchan Lee) and the Bio Center of Gyeonggi Business & Science Accelerator (Center Director, Younghoon Jeong) signed a business agreement on October 25 to contribute to national and regional development through mutual exchange and business cooperation. Both institutions will promote joint research. The College of Biotechnology and Bioengineering at Sungkyunkwan University will establish a pharmacologic activation system on a cellular level and construct indication models on animals. The Bio Center of Gyeonggi Business & Science Accelerator will support the identification of pharmaceutical active substances, the development of methods for synthesizing low-molecular novel substance and the search system per second of drug effect. Through the agreement between the two institutions, Sungkyunkwan University, which has excellent human resources and outstanding research power, and Gyeonggi Business & Science Accelerator will organically cooperate and contribute to national and regional development.

- Korean scientist leading the US scientific community Ⅱ, Seong-woong Kang
- Korean scientist leading the US scientific community Ⅱ Seong-woong Kang, Johns Hopkins University's Assistant Professor Seong-woong Kang, the assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University, has identified the cause of Parkinson’s disease, which is classified as an unidentified disease by the medical community around the world. Parkinson's disease has symptoms of shaking hands and arms and unstable behavior. In general, symptoms begin to appear in their 60s. Patients and caregivers experience severe stress and frustration when the illness gets worse and the body becomes more difficult to balance. Parkinson's disease is not only a pain in the family but also a social problem. Dr. Kang is solving the problem by approaching the main cause of Parkinson's disease. "Parkinson's disease is caused by damage to dopamine neurons in the midbrain that is responsible for motor function in the brain," he said. "The reason for the damage is that the 'parp' enzyme has increased in the midbrain." Excessive stress and erroneous eating can damage genes and increase parp in the brain. According to Kang, Harvard and MIT are competing for this research. Seoul National University College of Medicine also invited him to listen to his lecture. He said he could go to the developmental stage of the medicine because he had identified the cause of Parkinson's disease. "Now we are doing cell analysis for the development of the therapeutic agent," he said. “We are using the computer with 20,000 CPUs of the size of a two-story building.” He was able to achieve such a result because he was not frustrated when he struck the wall of reality and continued to pursue his dreams. He started his undergrad in '94 at Sungkyunkwan University, Department of Genetic Engineering. After completing his master's course at Sungkyunkwan University, he received M.D. from the Vienna University, Austria. He joined Baltimore Johns Hopkins University's team in 2011. He emphasized that the next generation should also develop advanced computer skills, such as machine learning, and the ability to use artificial intelligence. Machine learning, which has been developed rapidly since the mid-2000s, is a technology that deals with computers that learn on their own. He said, "The use of machine learning has greatly increased in the last 5~6 years," he said. "recent research is divided into traditional research and research with machine learning." He recommended that they should experience the lab as an intern because they could learn life in the lab. "Beginning is fun, but the mid process is boring, and this flow of research is similar to the one of life. Even if the study failed, they can learn the patience that when they start something, they can finish it. This article is a translation of Koreadaily's Korean article.

- Myocardial Infarction Blocked with Synthetic Microorganisms - Interview with Prof. Han-min Woo
- Myocardial Infarction Blocked with Synthetic Microorganisms - Interview with Prof. Han-min Woo The YTN Science interview of Han-min Woo, a professor of Food Science and Biotechnology Department, shows that synthetic microorganisms prevent 'myocardial infarction'. * The body text of the article Unlike the present atmosphere, there is little oxygen but mostly carbon dioxide in the primordial earth. Then, with the appearance of primitive living creatures with photosynthesis, the situation began to change. It is a microorganism called 'cyanobacteria', which absorb carbon dioxide and to release oxygen for the purpose of obtaining energy. [Ji-yu Lee/ Science Journalist: Photosynthesis make energy only using water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight. When it produces energy, by-product is made and this is oxygen.] The research shows that this microorganism, which has been sprayed with oxygen on Earth's atmosphere, can help the treatment of recent myocardial infarction. Myocardial infarction is a disease of the heart blood vessels suddenly blocked. If the cardiovascular system is clogged, the oxygen needed for myocardial activity cannot be supplied smoothly. Stanford University researchers injected cyanobacteria into the cells of myocardial infarction mice and found that heart muscle function was restored. [Han-min Woo/ Prof. Sungkyunkwan University: (US research team's research results) is to take advantage of the characteristics of cyanobacteria. It is meaningful that they has developed a system that can dissolve water using light, so that oxygen can be produced under oxygen-free conditions when infarcted.] In particular, when the mice were exposed to light, myocardial function was improved by about 30%. The researchers plan to conduct further studies to achieve the optimum effect by applying microorganisms to humans. This article is a translation of YTN Science's Korean article.

- Genetic engineering India youth, Ahuja Akash
- Genetic engineering India youth, Ahuja Akash Ahuja Akash, who is studying a doctorate course in the department of Genetic Engineering, wanted to become a doctor but could not pass it and decided to study genetic engineering. He is currently very satisfied with the majors of genetic engineering. Unlike the liberty of Indian laboratories, he is surprised at the conservative living here, but he is adapting. Akashi can speak Korean the only one of foreigners in the laboratory. Although it has not been long since he learned Korean, he seems to have worked hard on Korean language to adapt to Korean life. He said to those who hesitate to new challenges like he lives himself in Korea “Do not hesitate. You can challenge a new world. There will surely be those who kindly welcome you everywhere.” For details on the column, please click on the link below. -> https://www.skkuzine.com/People/view/1448 College of Biotechnology and Bioengineering
