◇ Professor Tae-Hyung Kim Selected for the NRF Mid-Career Researcher Support Program – Development of a 3D Nanomaterial-Based Multi-Layer Platform for Trilineage Formation

The Mid-Career Researcher Support Program is designed to enhance the fundamental research capabilities of mid-career researchers and foster them into leading scientists by supporting their innovative research endeavors. Professor Kim’s research focuses on ‘Development of a three-dimensional nanomaterial multi-layer platform for high-efficiency autonomous generation of trilineage structures in vitro’. His project aims to control the differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) autonomously, facilitating the automatic formation and interaction of the three germ layers in a 3D environment.
Expressing his gratitude, Professor Kim stated, “I am honored to be conducting this project among many outstanding researchers. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to Sungkyunkwan University and the Industry-Academia Cooperation Foundation for their tremendous support during the proposal preparation process.”
