Won Research Funds from National Research Foundation of Korea (한국연구재단) (June 1st, 2023 & September 1st, 2023)

한국연구재단의 기초연구실(Basic Research Lab.) 사업에 선정되어 구강마이크로바이옴과 쓴맛 수용체, 쓴맛 인지의 관련성 연구를 시작하게 되었습니다. 이화여대 식품생명공학전공 이혜성, 박진병 교수님, 그리고 가톨릭대학교 생명공학과 강남주 교수님과 함께 진행하는 집단과제입니다. 

한국연구재단의 기초연구사업 중견연구(Fund for Mid-career Researcher)에 선정되어 세균 단백질 독소에 관한 기초 및 응용연구를 심도있게 진행할 수 있게 되었습니다. 2007년부터 시작해 지난 17년 동안 연구해오던 주제를, 이제서야 학생연구원들과 함께 더 발전시킬 수 있게되었습니다.  

현대 생명공학의 창시자 Dr. Stanley N. Cohen 교수님께서 작고하시기전, 마지막 한국 방문에서 공유해주셨던 슬라이드를 다시 떠올려 봅니다.
각자의 자리에서 지식의 한계를 넓히려 고군분투하시는 선후배/동료 기초연구자분들께 깊은 감사와 응원의 말씀을 올립니다.

There is no applied science if there is no science to apply.
