[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Dooyul] Four doctoral candidates at Pukyong National University?Lee Kyungmin and Lee Eunkyung from the Department of Marine Life Biomedical Science, Jo Doomin from the Department of Food Engineering, and Choi Jisoo from the Department of Architectural Engineering?have been selected for this year’s “Support Project for the Next Generation of Science and Engineering Scholars.”

They were chosen in the “Doctoral Student Research Encouragement Fund” category announced by the Ministry of Education and the National Research Foundation of Korea on the 30th, and starting in June, each will receive a total of 40 million KRW in research funding over two years to carry out their research projects.

The project aims to support doctoral students in independently and proactively conducting creative and challenging research ideas related to their thesis topics, helping the next generation of scholars grow as researchers.

Through this project, Lee Kyungmin will conduct research on “Establishing an RNA Vaccine Platform for the Prevention of Viral Diseases in Marine Organisms,” and Lee Eunkyung will work on “Attenuation of Fish Pathogenic Streptococcus Using CRISPR/Cas9 and Its Application as an Attenuated Live Vaccine.”

Jo Doomin will undertake the project “Inhibition of Myoglobin Oxidation in Red Fish Meat Using Microbial Metabolites and Elucidation of Its Mechanism,” while Choi Jisoo will carry out “Evaluation of Indoor Environment and Energy Performance According to the Shape of Integrated Radiant Cooling and Heating Light Shelves.”

In the doctoral student research encouragement fund category of this year’s Support Project for the Next Generation of Science and Engineering Scholars, approximately 1,350 doctoral candidates nationwide applied, and 309 were finally selected.
