Biological Interface Group

SOGANG UNIVERSITY . SEOUL . KOREA

The goal of our research is to find curiosity-driven questions around us, and to find answers scientifically.
And put human first in priority.

We do not set any research barriers (Chemistry, Biology, Physics, or Engineering).

Everyone welcome, no matter what your background is.

2021 Group Picture

Our group' some curiosity-driven research

A dream for man-made live cells
Diagnostic chips made only with a inkjet printer
People living with volcano ashes.
3D printed water filter, for people.
How are the particulate matters different at different altitude ?
Human hair vs. dog hair vs. cat hair, are they same?
Bacteria living under high pressure.

Dr. Monica C. Ratri, her tearful moment!
