BT specialization efforts bear fruit as the Institute of Tissue Regeneration Engineering and Biomedical Engineering Core Facility are selected for the Ministry of Education’s project
BT (biotechnology) researchers have generated a string of accomplishments. The Institute of Tissue Regeneration Engineering and the Biomedical Engineering Core Facility have been selected for the Ministry of Education’s Science and Engineering Academic Research Support Project and will receive 9.1 billion KRW in funding to carry out R&D activities.
Institute of Tissue Regeneration Engineering to spearhead the University Research Center Support Program
Through ‘convergent research on material-cell-factors for composite tissue regeneration,’ the institute will take the initiative in developing original technology for the restoration of damaged composite tissue and will be injected with a total 5.5 billion KRW by 2025 for R&D commercialization and a self-sustaining institute. A lineup of researchers of more than 30 professors from the College of Dentistry and Medicine including professors Hae-hyoung Lee (pre-dentistry), Jung-hwan Lee (pre-dentistry), Ueon-sang Shin (nano-bio medicine), and Jung-keun Hyun (nano-bio medicine) will take part in the program.
Biomedical Engineering Core Facility stepping up to sharpen research capabilities
The center was selected by the Ministry of Education for its ‘Basic Sciences Research Capability Reinforcement Project’ and is bringing together core biomedical engineering research equipment spread out across the university to the Cheonan campus Industry-Academia Cooperation Hall to set up a core facility and increase dedicated talent to take part in operations. A total 3.6 billion KRW will be put into the project by 2025. Led by professor Gyu-dong Han (nano-bio medicine), Professors Jin-chul Ahn (medicine) and Se-heang Oh (nano-bio medicine) will also participate in the project.
