International Program

• Biomineralization and Marine Bio-inspired Biomaterial Design

  Prof. Seung Pil Pack, Prof. Hyun-Jae Shin, Prof. Chulhwan Park

  Biomineralization and Marine Bio-inspired Biomaterial Design		Prof. Seung Pil Pack, Prof. Hyun-Jae Shin, Prof. Chulhwan Park
  Instruction	This symposium is about the recent progress in “Biomineralization” and “Marine-inspired Biomaterial Design”, which is interesting research area for dealing with organic and inorganic interfaces or composites found in living organism. Four enthusiastic speakers will share several insightful lessons and challenging application ideas with the audiences. The understanding of the biomineralization mechanisms will help to get advanced strategies to create novel biomaterial and biosystems. This session will be supported by Marine Bio-Mineralization Research Center (mBMRC, NRF).

• Nanobiotechnology & Cell Engineering

  Prof. Jeong-Woo Choi

  Nanobiotechnology & Cell Engineering		Prof. Jeong-Woo Choi
  Instruction	This section invites key researchers with expertise in the fields of Nanobiotechnology and Cell engineering. These fields have been attracted widely and recently as the rise of interests for nanomedicine, cell therapeutics and stem cell. Speakers present the leading-edge trends and technologies in these fields with a special focus on the applications and developments of nanomedicine, stem cell engineering, and tissue engineering.

• Recent Progress of Lignin Refinery

  Prof. Yong Hwan Kim

  Recent Progress of Lignin Refinery		Prof. Yong Hwan Kim
  Instruction	Lignin is a biopolymer that represents the second most abundant renewable carbon source, next to cellulose, on the Earth. In the way to develop a sustainable and competitive bioeconomy the efficient use of lignocellulosic feedstock in biorefineries represents a crucial aspect. In this context, this symposium will bring together the most recent advances on biotechnology and related sciences applied to the use of lignin biomass as renewable raw materia to generate value-added chemicals and fuels. (This symposium is supported by Lignin Biorefinery R&D Center)

• Bioplastics & Biochemicals : KRICT-Biochemical Certification Center Symposium

  Prof. Dong Soo Hwang

  Bioplastics & Biochemicals : KRICT-Biochemical Certification Center Symposium		Prof. Dong Soo Hwang
  Instruction	Bioplastics & Biochemicals are promising routes for bio-based products from renewable resources. In this symposium, we will discuss polymer science and chemical synthetic strategies to produce biochemicals and bioplastic from renewable resources.
