Young Researchers Thrive in an Autonomous Research Environment
Two students from Professor Dongwhi Choi’s Multi-Scale Processing Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical Engineering have been named recipients of the Presidential Science Scholarship. The honorees are doctoral candidates Yu-seop Kim and Donghan Lee. The Presidential Science Scholarship is a national program hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Student Aid Foundation. It is designed to identify outstanding graduate students with the potential to become world-class researchers and to provide them with a robust foundation for their studies.
To select scholarship recipients, the Korea Student Aid Foundation comprehensively evaluates academic achievement, growth potential, and contributions to their respective fields. Each year, approximately 120 students are selected nationwide (around 50 for Master’s programs and 70 for Doctoral programs). Selected scholars receive full tuition coverage until graduation, along with a stipend for academic encouragement each semester. It is particularly significant that a single laboratory produced two scholarship recipients simultaneously in a competitive program that selects only about 120 students across the entire country.2026-04-13 -
Dean Seong-Gyu Ko’s Team at the College of Korean Medicine Publishes in Top Nature Portfolio Journal
Identifying a New Signaling Axis for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Growth
Leveraging the College of Korean Medicine’s Leading Research Center Pipeline to Suggest Potential New Targets for Diagnosis and Treatment
A research team at the Center for Herb-based Cancer Research, led by Dean Seong-Gyu Ko of the College of Korean Medicine, has identified a new molecular mechanism—the GPR54-DDC axis—that supports the growth and survival of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most common type of lung cancer. Through preclinical models, the team confirmed that the receptor protein GPR54 (KISS1R) promotes tumor growth by regulating the expression of Dopa Decarboxylase (DDC) and the energy metabolism of cancer cells.
The findings were published in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy (Impact Factor: 52.7), a prestigious journal within the Nature Portfolio. (Link to paper) This study is highly significant as it provides a unified explanation of how cancer cell signaling, energy metabolism, and tumor proliferation are interconnected through a single molecular axis.2026-04-06
