UNIST (Presidential Provisional Institution) recruited Professor Park Jong Hwa (47) and established a world-class advanced genomic research institute.
We plan to build a cutting-edge research infrastructure that will handle genome data production and bioinformatics analysis in one place, and make the genome industry a new growth engine for Ulsan.
The specific goal is to raise Ulsan as the world's top 10 genome industry mecca by 2020, and plan to create economic value including creation of more than 1 trillion won of self-government.
Genome refers to the entire genetic information related to the life phenomena of living things. The genome can also be called bio-semiconductors, and is the heart of any medical biotechnology.
The genome is also the most accurate and scientific data that determines the physical characteristics of each individual and the specific disease outbreak.
UNIST expects the genome industry to become a blue ocean for Ulsan to become a mecca for global healthcare and well-being industries when combined with Ulsan's strategic upbringing policy.
In January of 2014, Professor Park Jonghwa's team completely deciphered the genetic information of whale whales and got attention from academia.
In September 2013, the world's first standardization of large feline genomes was made through genome analysis of tigers, lions and leopards.
The UNIST Genome Lab, which includes Professor Park Jong Hwa, is divided into an IT-centered "Bioinformatics Center" and an experimental-oriented "Genomic Center".
In particular, we plan to focus on the big data analyzing system, which analyzes and processes vast genome data that is the core of genome research.
To this end, we plan to develop a genome engine and bio engine, a new information analysis engine that will expand the number of supercomputers and process genome data mathematically.
It also plans to use advanced DNA analyzer to produce large quantities of genomic information and apply it to disease prediction, diagnosis and treatment through advanced research that combines biology, physics, computation and optics.
"Through the genome research, it is possible to develop therapeutic drugs for incurable diseases for tailor-made treatment and industrial workers that meet the genetic characteristics of Koreans," said Park Jong-Hwa, a researcher at the Ministry of Employment and Labor You can get a great synergy. "
"The genome is likened to a lucky man who decides the fate of a human being," he said. "It is the most accurate and scientific data that determines each individual 's physical characteristics and the onset of a specific disease."
In addition, he said, "Through genome research, we can change human life itself." "We will accumulate various biological information to understand and predict human diseases and conquer cancer and aging."
