In May 2023, Yun Yejin, a student of Professor Lee Taek in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Kwangwoon University, was awarded the Springer Best Oral Presentation Award at the '2023 Korean BioChip Society Spring Conference.'

Yun Yejin presented a paper titled 'Fabrication of DNA-based rapid monitoring electrochemical biosensor for detection of harmful cyanobacteria Aphanizomenon flos-aquae,' which focuses on the fabrication of a highly sensitive electrochemical biosensor for the rapid detection of harmful cyanobacteria Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. The study introduced AC electrothermal flow (ACEF) technology to enable rapid detection of target substances. Additionally, the use of iridium nanoparticles amplified the electrochemical signal, resulting in the development of a high-sensitivity sensor.

The Korean BioChip Society is a nonprofit organization established to promote research and development related to proteinomics, functional genomics, bio-MEMS, nanotechnology, biosensors, and bioinformatics through the use of chips combining biological materials such as proteins, DNA, cells, and tissues with inorganic materials like silicon. The society contributes to the advancement of research in these fields and plays a role in the development of biochip technology, which is a core technology for 21st-century advanced life convergence science, including bio-MEMS, biosensors, nano-convergence, and health care.
