Korean Society for Biomaterials 22nd International Conference and General Assembly 2014

Seoul- South Korea - The Korean Society for Biomaterials 22nd International Conference was held in Seoul on 6 - 7 November 2014. Inviting various biomaterial researchers from Korea and also international, this conference practically become one of the biggest platform for experience and study sharing related to biomaterial researches. In this conference, one of BML member, Rifqi, presented a poster with title "Generation of Conductive Wrinkle Interfaces for Potential Tissue Engineering  Applications" and his poster became one of the best poster presented in the event. Congratulations, Rifqi!

Workshop Biomimetic Materials Lab. in Gokseong Youth Camp, 9th August 2014, Gokseong, South Korea.

Gokseong, South Korea - Just over a year ago we visited Gokseong for enjoying the awesome rafting experience on Seomjin river. This summer 2014 we come back to taste the thrill once again!

Workshop Biomimetic Materials Lab. in 서바이벌체험장, Jeonju City Facilities, 9th-10th February 2014, Jeonju, South Korea.

Jeonju, South Korea – In this winter vacation, Biomimetic Laboratory Lab. had the workshop activity by engaging in air soft game in air soft facilities at Jeonju World Cup stadium. Two groups were made from the existing lab members to face each other in the airsoft battle. Green team ended up to be the winner with just slightly different point compared to blue team, yet both teams showed a very good teamwork. Study hard, play hard; go Biomimetic Materials Lab!   

GIST-NCTU-NAIST International Joint Symposium 2013, 21st-26th November 2013, Nara, Japan

Nara, Japan – The 4th International joint symposium between GIST(South Korea)-NCTU(Taiwan)-NAIST(Japan) was held at NAIST from 21st till 26th November 2013. The collaboration of the tri-institutional had started since 2010. The event featured talks by various researchers from each institutions in the hopes of building strong international collaborations for interdisciplinary research. Topics covered during the presentations were diverse including electronic, energy, and biomaterial.

In this symposium, Prof. Jae Young Lee gave his presentation with title “Electrically Conducting Nanofibres for Neural Tissue Scaffold Application”. In the poster session, Rifqi, as one of the Biomimetic Materials Laboratory (GIST) member, was also presenting poster with title “Tunable Topography of Electrically Conducting Polymer on Thin Elastomeric Substrate”. His study explain the potential application of multiple cues, which are topography and electrical cues, for manipulating cells behaviors. 

G-SURF Poster Presentation, 12 September 2013, Gwangju, South Korea.

Gwangju, South Korea - GIST (Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology) held G-SURF (GIST Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship) for around eight weeks during summer vacation. For total about 57 undergraduate students, selected through a fixed procedure, participated in the G-SURF. Two undergraduate students were assigned to each laboratory of five departments of the graduate school and conducted research. All of them need to submit research report make a presentation of posters at the end of the program.

Two of Biomimetic Materials Lab. member, Jang, Ye Sul and Choe, Goeun presented their research with titles "Electrically Conductive Natural Polysaccharide Hydrogels for the Potential Tissue Engineering Scaffolds" and "Simple & Controllable Creation of Conducting Polymer Topographies on Elastomers for Potential Cardiac Patch Applications" in this G-Surf Poster Presentation. 

Workshop Biomimetic Materials Lab. in Gokseong Youth Camp, 23th-24th August 2013, Gokseong, South Korea.

Gwangju, South Korea - During the Summer Vacation, Biomimetic Materials Lab. hold workshop in Gokseong Youth Camp, attended by all of its member. While enjoying the surround  beauty and rafting along the river, this workshop also build a better teamwork and friendship among the members. Go Biomimetic Materials Lab.!

The 13th Joint Symposium on Material Science and Engineering for 21st Century, 23rd-26th June 2013, Hsinchu, Taiwan.

Hsinchu, Taiwan - Held in National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, The 13th Joint Symposium on Material Science and Engineering for 21st Century was an event to provide the graduate students from many different countries to meet each others and share knowledge in material science fields. The main purpose of this event was to improve the graduate students ability to become more academically self-reliant, so they could become the foundation in science and engineering development in this 21st Century.

In this event, Yang Sumi, one  member of the Biomimetic Materials Laboratory (GIST), was participating in the poster presentation section. She presented poster with the title "Polypyrrole-Alginate Hybrid Hydrogels: Electrically Conducting Soft Biomaterials for Potential Tissue Engineering Application". She achieved the bronze award for the poster  that she presented.
