Professor Lee Taek's Research Team (Department of Chemical Engineering) Won the Excellent Academic Award at the 2023 Korean Society for Biomaterials Spring Conference

Professor Lee Taek's (Department of Chemical Engineering) research team at our university won excellent academic awards in the SOC (Student Oral Competition) category (master's students Park Go-eun and Park Han-bin) and the PO (Poster session) category (master's student Yoon Ye-jin) at the "2023 Korean Society for Biomaterials Spring Conference" held in March.

In the SOC category, Park Go-eun presented on the topic of "Preparation of DNA aptamer and development of electrical biosensor for detection of Zika virus in human serum" (Park Go-eun, Lee Taek), and Park Han-bin presented on "A rapid AC-based electrochemical biosensor composed of truncated DNA aptamers to detect West Nile virus in human serum samples" (Park Han-bin, Lee Taek), and both received excellent academic awards. In the PO category, Yoon Ye-jin presented a poster on the topic of "Fabrication of DNA electrochemical biosensor for detection of harmful cyanobacteria Aphanizomenon flos-aquae" (Yoon Ye-jin, Lee Taek) and received an excellent paper presentation award.

In addition to these achievements, Professor Lee Taek's research team has also won numerous research awards at the "2021 Korean Society for Biomaterials Fall Conference," "2021 Korean Society of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Fall Conference," "2022 Korean Society for Biomaterials Spring Conference," "2022 Korean Society for Biochip," and "2023 Korean Society for Biomaterials Spring Conference."

The Korean Society for Biomaterials was established in 1996 as a global society where domestic and international clinical practitioners, industry representatives, universities, and research institutes gather to exchange academic and technical information on the development and function of various biomaterials for the treatment of human diseases and improvement of quality of life. Last year, the society's academic journal, "Biomaterials Research," was also included in SCIE, achieving a notable accomplishment.
