- Prof. KIM, Jae Yun conferred 'Knowledge Creation Award' by the Ministry of Science
- The Korean government announced the recipients for this year’s ‘Knowledge Creation Award'. Established in 2009 the award is to recognize and congratulate Korean scientists who have made international contributions to the field of science. On Oct. 10, Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning held ‘The 7th Knowledge Creation Awards’ ceremony at The K Hotel in Seoul, hosted by Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information(KISTI), and announced the 10 recipients for this year. The Knowledge Creation Award differs from existing selection methods using recommendations of specialist and related authorities, by implemented a selection process based on a metrical information analysis technique to measure the researcher’s academic achievements, which increases the fairness & objectivity of the award. More specifically utilizing the most renown world science technology citation datadbase ‘SCIE’ and ‘SCOPUS’ on a every other year basis, it extracts the highly cited papers (HCP) that come into the top 1% in the world in citation numbers over the last decade, and, amonst them, select the 10 leading scientists base on the level of their academic contribution. Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) School of Chemical Engineering Prof. Kim Jae Yun is an authority in multi-functional nano-particles, polymer hydrogels and more, that utilizes nano-bionic materials for drug & cell delivery resistance treatment. Though his recent achievements in the development of “3D Vaccine Delivery System” which enables the treatment of cancer and other infectious diseases to cured through simple needle injection, doing away with complicated surgical procedures, he received world acclaim by publishing his findings in the 2015 journal of Nature Biotechnology as its’ cover publication. Also he has been very active in this field research with 58 papers SCIE journals published.

- ‘Graduate School Program Fair’ [October 1, 2015]
- To all students, Did you know? Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) graduate program holds 9 NO.1 titles among currrently running government funded programs like NO.1. in ‘Global Ph.D. Fellowship’, NO.1. in ‘foundation research’ and others. However, due to the less known admissions information and scholarships policies, students swarmed the individual offices of each major to obtain information during the admissions period. So for this purpose, SKKU is holding the ‘Graduate School Program Fair’ on Oct. 1st (Natural Science Campus). In the event 1) you can receive department general information like stats. on sign-ups, registration and enrollment for 2016 admissions. Students can get 2) scholarship info. and confirmation on their accessability to scholarships provided. Also a wide range of topics can be asked at the event such as 3) research scholarship 4) program info. 5) career info. and everyone is invited to come and join. In the Natural Science Campus the Samsung Library hold the event on the 1st floor from 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm, with ‘open lab’ being offered from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm. In addition, the university will be running a lab tour called ‘Graduate School Program Week" where those who wish to enter our school can freely visit the individual labs for 3 days from Oct. 1 to 6. Time table (Natural Science Campus) - Time: 2015. October 1 (Tuesday), from 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm - Venue: Samsung Library 1st floor - Special features: 1) On-site Scholarship for Master & Ph.d. combined program 2) Open Lab from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm

- Developing novel artificial cell nucleus appliable to genetic disorder treatment
- Korean researchers developed an ‘artificial cell nucleus’ that will treat genetic disorders caused by serious defects in genomic DNA. Prof. Um, Soong Ho’s research team at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) announced on september 3 that they have developed a artificial cell nucleus system which may be able to replace defected cell nucleuses. The system is simply manufactured by cross-linking protein-encoding genes with four-armed junctional DNA nanostructure as a histone-like bio-polymer, furthermore enveloped by lipid membranes to be easily transported into the target cell. As engaged with coupled transcription and translation system, the synthetic cell nucleus is also able to produce messenger RNA, eventually leading to massive protein production inside the cytosol of a cell. To visualize the concept, a green-light emitting protein-encoding gene as a test model was positioned in the system matrix and then it resulted in strong green fluorescent emissions in brest cancer cell line. Traditional gene transfer methodologies for the genomic correction of serious genetic disorder have suffered from much limitations including few transfection efficiency and lower safety. By utilizing artificial cell nucleus the protein productivity increases up to 2.5 folds. “Instead of the light-emitting protein-encoding gene its will be possible to insert healthy genes curing genetic disorders in the synthetic nucleus system” Prof. Um explained. The research results were published in the authoritative journal of nano-material sciences, ‘Small’ online edition for August 27. Link to media report: http://news.donga.com/3/all/20150904/73425531/1

- Welcome Pizza Party [September 3, 2015]
- On September 3, 2015, The College of Engineering held “Welcome Pizza Party” for all international undergraduate students and exchange students at 81801, 8F, Research Complex 1. Dean SONG, Sung-Jin introduced our main academic programs. He shared pizza and drinks to support foreign students to be quick adjust. Also he listened recommendations and suggestions from students. Beginning this year, The College of Engineering put efforts to improve International Graduate student’s satisfaction through many events, like ‘End of Semester Pizza Party’, that provide helpful information and expand On/Off-line communication channel to socialize with each others. The College of Engineering attract foreign students from Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and Thailand to grow high-quality human resource. About 20 students from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore and other countries study in the School of Mechanical Engineering so that the number of exchange students is highly increased. 공과대학은 지난 9월 3일(목) 제1종합연구동 세미나실에서 외국인 학부과정생 및 교환학생을 위하여 “Welcome Pizza Party”를 개최하였다. 70여명의 외국인 학부생들과 교환학생들이 참가한 본 간담회에서 송성진 공과대학장은 공과대학 주요학사 프로그램을 소개하고, 새롭게 한 학기를 시작하는 외국인 학생들의 정착과 적응을 지원하기 위하여 피자와 음료를 함께 나누며 학생들로부터 다양한 건의사항과 제안을 청취하였다. 공과대학은 금년부터 학기말 대학원생 “End of Semester Pizza Party” 등의 행사를 통하여 외국인 학생들과 상호 소통할 수 있는 On/Off-Line의 채널을 확대하고, 유용한 정보를 제공하는 동시에, 외국인 학생들 간의 친목의 장을 마련하여 학교생활 만족도 제고를 위한 노력을 경주하고 있다. 공과대학에는 말레이시아, 파키스탄, 사우디아라비아 정부파견장학생을 적극 유치하여 지한 고급인력 양성과 태국 HRH장학생을 유치하는 등 외국인 유치국가의 다변화를 도모하고 있다. 특히 글로벌 선도 공학교육체계를 확립하여 싱가폴 난양공대 교환학생과 해외수학생 20여명이 기계공학부에서 수학하는 등 해외우수대학 교환학생이 대폭 증가하였다.
