On April 26, UNIST and Ulsan City officially announced that their ambitious 10,000 Genome Project has finally reached the milestone of sequencing 10,000 whole genomes. On this day, they also held a declaration ceremony to commemorate the successful completion of the Ulsan 10,000 Genome Project, which was initiated in 2016 as part of...
Peer pressure, a powerful influence in the lives of students, has rather negative connotations in society, which includes the influence of peers on juvenile delinquency and the use of alcohol or cigarettes. According to a new study, affiliated with UNIST, observing social peers making safe choices may lead some teens to make healthy...
A new study, affiliated with UNIST BME has unveiled the mechanisms involved in the liver metastasis of breast cancer, thanks to the three-dimensional (3D) organ-on-a-chip that mimics human liver functions. This breakthrough is expected to contribute to early detection of metastatic cancer, and thus towards...
A recent study, affiliated with UNIST BME has unveiled the mechanism of development of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that give rise to all blood cell types. In collaboration with the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), Director Kyungjae Myung and Dr. Yoonsung Lee at the Center...
We would much rather be talking with you in person, but we’ve put together the next best thing. Our online sessions will help you learn more about UNIST BME and what it is like to live and study here. Meet online with ZOOM: link will be...
A research team, affiliated with UNIST has developed a novel CRISPR-based genome labeling scheme for reliable visualization of genomic elements in living cells. This labeling scheme, according to the research team, would enable real-time visual tracking of changes in chromatin structure. CRISPR, also known as CRISPR/Cas9, is a type...
A joint research team, affiliated with UNIST BME has been selected as the recipient of a large-scale Social Science Korea (SSK) project of the National Research Foundation of Korea. Research teams from UNIST and Pusan National University (PNU) have entered into a research collaboration focusing on...
A new diagnostic technology that quickly identifies viral or bacterial infections by dropping a single drop of blood on artificial vessels-on-a-chip that mimics the human immune response has been developed. In addition to its ability to detect infections before they begin to show symptoms (i.e., fever), the new method is ready to...
