- Prof. Per Jensen from Univ of Wuppertal Shared Knowledge in Spectroscopy with Chemistry Dept.
- On October 8th, 2015, the College of Science and the Department of Chemistry co-organized an academic seminar (topic: Local Modes in Vibrational (and Rotational) Spectroscopy) presided by Professor Per Jensen of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Wuppertal. About 30 students and faculty members attended the seminar to share their research experiences and knowledges in spectroscopy and physical chemistry for an hour and a half. Professor KIM Young-dok and PAENG Kee-wook brought him to some research places in the chemistry building after the occasion. Before the academic seminar, Professor Jensen had a meeting with Professor Cartsten Rott of the department of physics and KIM Kyuseok of the College of Science Office to discuss the possibilities of initiating student mobility program between the University of Wuppertal and SKKU College of Science.

- Partnership with Prince Songkla University in Thailand Steps into New Chapter
- It has been 6 years since SKKU College of Science and Prince Songkla University in Thailand signed an MoU to be a good “friend” with each other. In the year of 2015, two universities just started stepping into the new chapter of mutual collaboration by agreeing upon student exchange conditions; two parties are going to put the program in place from the academic year of 2016. It is surely expected to provide students at both school to have widened corridor of opportunities for study and research abroad programs.

- College of Science Represented at EAIE Conference and Exhibition 2015, Glasgow
- The College of Science was represented at the EAIE Annual Conference and Exhibition by Mr. KIM Kyuseok, international program and relations officer at the College of Science Office from September 14 to 18, along with the International Affairs speaking for the entire university. A series of meetings were arranged between the College of Science, and current as well as prospective international partners had a chance to discuss future collaboration in academics and student/faculty exchanges. In particular, the University of Edinburgh and the University of Glasgow in UK, which are the most prestigious universities in the region, and the College of Science agreed to continue the dialogue to co-develop student mobility programs in the very near future. We also had a meeting with multiple universities, such as the Western University of Australia, Tohoku University, and Radboud University and reached an agreement to initiate bilateral student exchange program from 2016.

- SKKU Prof. Bae’s team reveals pathological mechanism involved in high mortality in sepsis
- Korean researchers revealed the cause behind the high level of vital organ damage and fatality related to septicemia (blood poisoning), and discovered a new potential drug that will help in the treatment for the disease. The Ministry of Health & Welfare announced on August 27, with the support of the Disease Overcoming Technology Project, Prof. Bae, Yoe-Sik (Department of Biological Sciences) of Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) revealed, for the first time, that the cause for the high level of septicemia related vital organ damages and the subsequential fatality is due to the cell signal molecule ‘phospholipase D2 (PLD2)’. The researchers explained that when septicemia occurs the PLD2 expressed in neutrophils restrict the generation of neutrophil extracellular trap which is in charge of removing infectious germs, and the movement of neutrophils also being hindered, leading to decreased bactericidal activity and the higher rate of fatalities. With experimental sepsis models, the researchers were able to confirm the new potential drug, CAY10594 (PLD2 inhibitor), to show astonishing remedial results in septicemia treatment. After administering CAY10594 to a septicemic mouse, the researchers observed that neutrophil extracellular trap generation was enhanced, and inflammatory cytokine generation and immune cell apoptosis were contained, resulting in the impressive remedial effects in septicemia treatment. Out of the group of septicemic mouse treated by administering CAY10594, 90% survived while the group who had no administration only 25% survived. Septicemia is a severe acute infectious disease where an excessive influx of microbes through the blood to the organs causes infection which, in serious cases, leads to death. While in the US alone 800 thousand patients develop sepsis annually, and being a fatal infectious disease with a fatality rate reaching about 27%, there are no treatments that are approved by US Food and Drug Administration presently. “Using a drug targeting PLD2, we are expecting to develop an effective septicemia cure” asserted Prof. Bae, and added “the patent for the research results have been applied domestically and an international patent is under preparation.” Link to media report:http://www.yonhapnews.co.kr/bulletin/2015/08/27/0200000000AKR20150827143100017.HTML?input=1195m
