Chosun University Hospital announced on the 11th that Professor Joo Jeong-yeon (Department of Pediatrics) received the ‘Academic Award’ from the Korean Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition.

Professor Joo was honored with the award for presenting research on ‘Non-invasive serological markers for screening liver fibrosis in pediatric patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis,’ recognizing the academic value and contribution to the advancement of the society in the field of pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition.

While there has been extensive research on non-invasive serological markers for screening liver fibrosis in adult patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, related studies on children and adolescents remain very limited.

Professor Joo stated, “I will continue to do my best not only in academic research but also in clinical care to help pediatric patients in the region.”

Meanwhile, Professor Joo is actively engaged in academic activities as a full member of the Korean Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition and the Korean Society of Intestinal Research, as well as serving on the Nutrition Committee and Planning Committee of the Korean Society of Gastroenterology and Nutrition.
