[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Young-won] Seoul National University Hospital announced on the 4th that Professor Cho Young-min of the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism received the 'Namgok Academic Award' at the 41st Autumn Scientific Meeting of the Korean Endocrine Society and the 10th International Symposium on Endocrinology and Metabolism (SICEM 2022) held on the 29th of last month.

The Namgok Academic Award was established in 1999 by the late Namgok (南谷) Min Heon-gi, Professor Emeritus at Seoul National University College of Medicine, who passed away last year, to encourage research enthusiasm and promote academic activities in the field of endocrinology. It is awarded to researchers who have made outstanding achievements in the advancement of endocrinology research.

Professor Cho, who has published more than 200 academic papers in prestigious domestic and international journals, was selected as this year’s Namgok Academic Award recipient in recognition of his continuous research achievements related to incretin hormones secreted in the small intestine that regulate insulin secretion and appetite.

In his commemorative lecture, Professor Cho quoted the late Professor Min Heon-gi’s favorite saying, "The joy of scholarship and its practice is endless," and stated, "I will continue to make greater efforts for the advancement of endocrinology."
