Exploring Biohealth Innovations with Intelligence Genetics Lab
On July 10, 2024, the Intelligence Genetics Lab participated in the Kookmin University Regional-Industry-Univerisity Cooperation Festival, hosting hands-on training sessions on physiological and behavioral changes in fruit flies fed tomato extract. Collaborating with companies, this event showcased the process of selecting health-functional ingredients by observing extract-induced changes in fruit flies. Led by Professor Youngseok Lee and Dr. Jiun Sang, the program combined seminars, practical training, and live demonstrations of methods such as taste-associative memory tests. The initiative, supported by the Ministry of Education and the National Research Foundation, also explored industrialization strategies for biohealth innovations, highlighting our commitment to bridging academic research and industrial application.

Major Triumph For the Lab🧬🔬
Major Triumph For the Lab🧬🔬
Researchers led by Prof. Lee Youngseok at Kookmin University's Department of Bio-Fermentation Fusion unveiled the detection and toxicity mechanisms of cantharidin, a terpenoid secreted by blister beetles. Published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials, the study titled "Avoiding Cantharidin through Ionotropic Receptors" explores the defensive role of cantharidin. While historically used as a blistering agent, the substance has been employed as an aphrodisiac. The team's findings shed light on ionotropic receptors' involvement in cantharidin avoidance. This breakthrough contributes to understanding the ecological and therapeutic aspects of cantharidin Read more ...
