Dong-A University, Busan RIS Radiation Bio Symposium... Establishing Radiation Medical Bio Network
Dong-A University (President Lee Hae-woo) announced that it held the ‘2024 Busan RIS Radiation Bio Symposium.’
The symposium, held on the 29th of last month at Busan City Hotel, was conducted as part of the local government-university cooperation-based regional innovation project (RIS) ‘2024 Regional Specialized Radiation Medical Bio Technology Development and Network Establishment Project.’
Busan is set to become one of the five core radiation cities nationwide, with the Radioisotope Utilization Center opening soon in the Gijang Radiation Medical Science Complex and the construction of an export-oriented new reactor underway.
Related presentations were prepared through this RIS Radiation Bio autonomous project (Research Director: Professor Kang Do-young of Dong-A University) symposium.
In his congratulatory speech, Lee Seung-woo, a member of the Planning and Finance Committee of the Busan Metropolitan Council, emphasized the importance of the Radioisotope Utilization Center and the reactor, stating, “We will actively support them.” Lee Dong-gyu, Director of the Semiconductor New Materials Division of Busan City, said, “We expect the radiation medical science field to develop significantly as a strategic industry through the Gijang Radiation Medical Science Complex.”
In the following presentations, Dr. Lee Dong-eun of the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute presented the ‘Busan Radiation Bio Industry Master Plan,’ and Professor Park Ji-yong of Seoul National University College of Medicine gave a presentation on the ‘Development of New FAPI Radioactive Compounds.’
Additionally, Gil Hee-seop, CTO of FutureChem Co., Ltd., presented the journey to establishing the Gijang FutureChem Production Center and the diagnostic and therapeutic agents currently under development. Kristy Gao, Head of Novartis Korea, presented on the ‘Current Usage Status of Prostate Cancer Therapeutics.’
During the panel discussion, including Jeon Jong-min, Policy Advisor of Busan City, the panelists emphasized the necessity for the Radiation Medical Science Complex to be supported as a national industrial complex rather than a local one, and projected that through the Gijang Radiation Medical Science Complex, the radiation bio field will contribute to the region and citizens as a core growth industry of Busan.
