Pukyong National University

A special question from the Department of Biomedical Engineering, "What if we combine marine life with biomedical science?"
The Busan Ilbo Project Series <We are the future of university.>, Saturation coverage about Department of Biomedical Engineering, PKNU.

△ Paper of the Busan Ilbo, where project article for the Department of Biomedical Engineering were posted.

What kind of university and department did this wonderful research take place in?

- Developed next-generation cancer treatment technology that targets cancer!
- Developed of nanocomposite suitable for living body with marine derived chitosan etc!
- Developed a surgical instrument that restrain airway stenosis with Ecklonia cava which is an ocean plant.
- Developed of materials for skin tissue regeneration with excellent ability to regenerate fish skin collagen and excellent antibacterial properties!
- Development of various medicines such as anticancer drugs, antivirals, hypertriglyceridemic drugs, painkillers etc from marine natural products!

This is the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Pukyong National University. Wow, Department of Biomedical Engineering is doing such a study!

The department of Biomedical Engineering was introduced as a 10 paragraphs large-scale article on the 29th in Busan Ilbo, caught the eyes of readers.

The Busan Ilbo project series, "We are the future of the university," covered the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Pukyong National University. secondly.

On this day, The Busan Ilbo modified the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Pukyong National University as follows.

- "Unusual in the world as well as in the world"
- "It is the first in Korea and not even globally"

Why is the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Pukyong National University receiving unprecedented praise from the press?

On this day, the Busan Ilbo article kindly explained the definition of biomedical engineering for readers who are unfamiliar with the field of biomedical engineering.

"Biomedical engineering is closely related to our lives. However, there are not many people who know exactly what it is." the article said. "It's a science that applied engineering technology to Biomedical. "The following article defines "(biomedical science) as a life optic, a pillar of the fourth industrial revolution that is a fusion of Biomedical and engineering."

In the article, "The Department of Biomedical Engineering at Pukyong National University was established as the first national undergraduate course in 2010." The most important feature of this department is "to develop ultra-precision medical devices for the diagnosis and treatment of human body using marine life." This is the first time in Korea and is not common in the world." the article introduced like this.

"The Department of Biomedical Engineering (Pukyung National University) is a unique educational program that has achieved unparalleled results in the field of marine biology research. "Flipped Learning", the backwards learning is the focus of the curriculum.

Flipped Learning?

The article says, "Students pre-learns home videos produced by their professors before classes, and they asks questions or provide feedback in class. The learning effect is high since individual lessons and customized teaching are available to students.

In the article, the comment of Nam Seung-yoon, the head of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, was very special.

-"The relationship between professors and students is similar to Johns Hopkins University in the United States, which is world famous in biomedical sciences."
- "I think the friendly relationship between professor and student is the best power to develop our department."

What kind of relationship? For example, seven faculty members of this department have funded a 100 million won development fund for their students!

Kim Young-seup, the university president said in an interview following this article.

- "It is the Department of Biomedical Engineering that shows the best future of Pukyong National University which is the leading university of the 4th Industrial Revolution."
- "I want to make our University a great university than the 1st class university."
 
Yes. A university is not able to make the first place in all disciplines. Pukyong National University is a charming university with many special fields such as biomedical engineering, where other universities cannot afford to be involved.

Pukyong National University is always the place to open up the unknown world like the belief of Pukyung that 'our road is a new way'. <Pukyong Today>
