[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Pukyong National University, which is promoting the establishment of a College of Radiological Medicine, is hosting a seminar titled "Radiological Medical Science and Convergence" by inviting Yesung Joon, head of the Graduate School of Convergence Science and Technology at Seoul National University and an authority in radiological medical science in Korea.

The College of Medicine Establishment Promotion Team and the Department of Biomedical Engineering’s New Senior Customized Smart Healthcare Project Group at Pukyong National University announced on the 20th that the seminar will be held on the 21st at 3 p.m. in the Makerspace Room on the 2nd floor of Ungbi Hall at Pukyong National University’s Daeyeon Campus.

This event aims to understand the current status of convergence research in radiological medicine and engineering, which has recently become a hot topic, and to seek mutual cooperation.

Lecturer Yesung Joon graduated from the Department of Nuclear Engineering at Seoul National University and its graduate school, earned his Ph.D. at Purdue University in the United States, and after working at Ohio Medical School and the University of Alabama Medical School, has been a professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Seoul National University College of Medicine since 2006.

The Graduate School of Convergence Science and Technology at Seoul National University was established in 2009 for convergence research in advanced future technologies such as nanoengineering, intelligent information engineering, and radiological biomedical engineering. Former Minister of Science, ICT and Future Planning Choi Yang-hee and Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, served as the first and second heads, respectively.

The Department of Biomedical Engineering at Pukyong National University is the first biomedical engineering major established at a national university in 2010, combining medicine and engineering technology for efficient diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases.

It leads research in the biomedical engineering and healthcare sectors in Korea, operating large-scale medical technology development projects such as the Marine Convergence Bionics Material Commercialization Technology Development Research Group, worth 31.8 billion KRW.

Professor Oh Jeong-hwan of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Pukyong National University, who is hosting the seminar, said, “Through this seminar, we will share the latest technological trends related to radiological medicine and explore cooperation plans with the radiological convergence biomedical field, a multidisciplinary research being conducted at Seoul National University.”
