This award is the highest honor given to researchers who have demonstrated outstanding research achievements and academic leadership in tissue engineering. Professor Shin was recognized for his contributions to the advancement of regenerative medicine worldwide as a researcher from Asia.

Professor Shin earned his Ph.D. in Biotechnology from Rice University in the United States, completed his postdoctoral research at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and then joined Hanyang University. He currently leads the Functional Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Laboratory (BMTL), where he conducts research on the design of biomaterials for tissue regeneration, stem cell-based regenerative therapies, and nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems.

In particular, Professor Shin has achieved globally recognized research results in the areas of cartilage-bone composite tissue regeneration, biodegradable smart patches, and cell spheroid-based three-dimensional tissue modeling.

Additionally, he is the only engineering researcher in Korea to have been simultaneously selected as a fellow of both the International Society for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine and the International Society for Biomaterials. He has also served as editor-in-chief of 'Tissue Engineering Part B: Reviews' and as organizing committee chair for numerous international academic conferences, playing a pivotal role in expanding international networks and promoting academic exchange.

Professor Shin stated, "I will continue to focus on developing tissue engineering technologies that can provide practical help for patients suffering from degenerative diseases."
