What is Department of Biotechnology?
The Department of Convergence Biotechnology combines new biotechnology technologies and other technologies to create useful substances for human health promotion, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases through the medical, bio, AI (artificial intelligence (AI) big data-based digital pharmaceutical industry and regenerative medical healthcare industry.
In order to realize this in detail, it is necessary to promote research exchanges between industry and academia and promote basic research on Bio technology. In addition, the development and industrialization of Bio technology is progressing around the world from the perspective of improving the industrial foundation. It is time for fresh and talented people to provide information on Bio industrial products to people who research and develop Bio technology and produce Bio industrial products.
It is a convergence biotechnology department that fosters talented people who will lead the world as professionals with cutting-edge expertise, creative thinking, and passionate attitude in the 21st century.
