Prof. Mikyung Shin (Department of Biomedical Engineering) Receives Phi Biomed Rising Researcher Award

Prof. Mikyung Shin (Department of Biomedical Engineering) was awarded the ‘Phi Biomed Rising Researcher’ award at the 2022 Korean Society for Biomaterials Fall Conference.

Korean Society for Biomaterials is an international academic society where about 3,400 domestic/international companies, universities, research labs, and medical service researchers interchange organically to develop biomedical materials for humanity’s better standards of life and find cures for diseases. The official academic journal of the society, ‘Biomaterials Research’, has the highest IF (Impact Factor) 15.863 among 132 SCIE domestic biomedical field journals with a ranking of the top 3.06%.

The Phi Biomed Rising Researchers Award is granted to young researchers of outstanding achievement in biomedical material research development who got their doctorate degree in recent 10 years, encouraging new uprising competent researchers who are expected to have continuous contribution and development for the biomedical material field to achieve and support their excellent accomplishments.

Ever since her appointment at SKKU in 2019, Prof. Shin has developed various hydrogels for hemostatic, drug delivery, and 3D bioprinting based on natural imitation tissue adhesive biomolecules and is recently researching bio-interfacing technology, publishing 48 thesis papers on SCI journal in 5 years. Particularly in the last 3 years, Prof. Shin published her papers in the material field top 7% journals such as Advanced Functional Materials, ACS Nano, and Advanced Materials.
