「카길한림생명과학상」은 한국과학기술한림원(원장 한민구)이 주관하고 글로벌 동물영양 전문기업 ㈜카길애그리퓨리나의 카길애그리퓨리나문화재단(이사장 박용순)이 후원한다.
농·수·축산학 분야에서의 탁월한 연구업적으로 해당 분야의 발전에 기여한 훌륭한 과학기술인을 발굴, 포상하고자 지난 2015년 제정됐다.
수상자에게는 상패와 상금 각 2,000만원을 수여한다.
시상식은 2월 23일(화) 경기도 성남 소재 한림원회관에서 열렸다. 한림원 측은 코로나19 확산 방지를 위해 시상식 행사를 최소화(15인 이내)했다.
22일 한국과학기술한림원에 따르면, 부경대 배승철 교수(FAO-세계수산대학 국제교수)는 수산양식학 중 양식사료 영양학 전문가로 뱀장어 인공종묘 생산을 위한 분야를 개척하고 친환경 고품질 배합사료 개발하여 지속가능한 수산양식발전에 기여한 공로로 이 상을 받게 됐다.
한림원측은 이날 “뱀장어 인공부화 및 실뱀장어 생산, 양식 사료에서 항생제를 대체하는 생균제 개발, 동물 체내 수은축적 저감 모델 제시 등이 배 교수의 대표적인 연구성과이며, 2003년 아시아인 최초로 세계양식학회 회장을 역임한 바 있다.”고 밝혔다.
1993년 부경대 교수로 부임한 배 교수는 뱀장어 인공종묘 생산을 위한 영양학적 연구와 양식 분야에서 200여 편의 국내외 논문과 500여 편의 학술발표 등을 통해 수산양식 사료영양대사학과 사료품질관리 분야를 개척, 이 분야 학문 발전에 선도적인 역할을 해왔다.
그는 세계양식학회장, 한국연구재단 생명과학단 수산학분야 전문위원 등을 통해 친환경 고품질 배합사료개발로 지속가능한 양식발전에 기여해왔다. 이 같은 공로로 한국수산과학회 원종훈 학술상, 대한민국해양수산과학기술대상 우수상 등을 수상한 바 있다.
한편 이번에 배 교수와 함께 「카길한림생명과학상」을 받는 포항공대 황일두 교수(생명과학과)는 ‘물과 광합성 산물이 이동하는 관다발 발달제어 기작’, ‘식물 호르몬 간의 상호작용을 통한 식물 줄기세포의 활성 조절 기작’ 등을 세계 최초로 규명함으로써 한국 식물학 연구의 위상을 높인 공로로 수상자로 선정됐다.
한림원 한민구 원장은 “코로나19 시대에 농·수·축산학 등 생명과학의 중요성이 더욱 부각되는 가운데, 관련 분야의 우수한 과학자를 발굴해 시상하게 되었다”면서, “두 명의 수상자가 이룩한 세계적인 연구업적이 인류의 보다 풍요로운 삶과 건강한 생태계 구축에 기여할 것.”이라고 밝혔다. <부경투데이>
Prof. Bae Seung-cheol of PKNU, the Winner of the Cargill-KAST Bioscience Award
Outstanding research achievements in the fields of agriculture, fisheries, and animal husbandry ... Awards ceremony held on the 23rd of Feb.
Professor Bae Seung-cheol (left) of Pukyong National University and Professor Hwang Il-doo of Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) were selected as the winners of the 5th Cargill-KAST Bioscience Award.
The 「Cargill-KAST Bioscience Award」 is hosted by the Korean Academy of Science and Technology (President Han Min-koo) and sponsored by the Cargill Agri Purina Cultural Foundation (Chairman Park Yong-soon) of Cargill Agri Purina Inc., a global animal nutrition company.
It was established in 2015 to discover and reward excellent scientists and engineers who have contributed to the development of the field with outstanding research achievements in the fields of agriculture, fisheries, and animal husbandry.
A plaque and prize money of 20 million won were given to each of the winners.
The award's ceremony was held on 23, February (Tue) at the Korean Academy of Science and Technology in Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do. The Korean Academy of Science and Technology limited the award's ceremony attendees (15 people or less) to prevent the spread of Corona 19.
According to a presentation by the Korean Academy of Science and Technology on the 22nd, Professor Bae Seung-cheol (International Professor of FAO-World Fisheries University) of Pukyong National University is an expert in aquaculture feed nutrition among aquaculture studies. He was granted the award for contributing to sustainable aquaculture development by pioneering the field for the production of artificial seeds of eels and developing eco-friendly and high-quality blended feeds.
That day, the Korean Academy of Science and Technology stated, "Professor Bae's major research achievements include artificial hatching of eels and production of eels, development of probiotics that replace antibiotics in aquaculture feeds, and suggestion of models to reduce mercury accumulation in animals. He was also the first Asian to serve as the President of the World Aquaculture Society in 2003."
Professor Bae, who was appointed as a professor at Pukyong National University in 1993, has played a leading role in the academic development of this field by pioneering the field of aquaculture feed nutrition metabolism and feed quality management through 200 domestic and international papers and 500 academic presentations in the field of nutritional research and aquaculture for production of artificial eel seedlings.
He has contributed to the development of sustainable aquaculture through the development of eco-friend and high-quality blended feeds through the president of the World Aquaculture Society and as the expert committee member in the field of fisheries science at the National Research Foundation (NRF). For such contributions, he has received the Won Jong-Hoon Academic Award from the Korean Society of Fisheries and Aquatic Science (KOSFAS) and the Excellence Award in the Korean Marine Fisheries Science and Technology Awards.
Meanwhile, Professor Hwang Il-Doo (Life Sciences) of POSTECH, who received the 「Cargill-KAST Bioscience Award」 along with Professor Bae, who said 'Bundle sheath control mechanism of growth through which water and photosynthesis products move', 'Mechanism of regulation of plant stem cell activity through interactions between plant hormones' was selected as the winner for the contribution of raising the status of Korean Plant Biology research by identifying these ideas for the first time in the world.
Han Min-koo, the President of the Korean Academy of Science and Technology said, "In the era of Corona 19 pandemic, while the importance of life sciences such as agriculture, fisheries, and animal husbandry are emerging more , excellent scientists in related fields were discovered and given awards," he added, "The global research achievements accomplished by the two winners will contribute to the establishment of a life of plenty and a healthy ecosystem for mankind."
