The Global Basic Research Laboratory Support Project is designed to strengthen the nation's basic research capabilities by supporting small-scale basic research groups focused on specific research topics. Dongguk University will receive a total of 8.25 billion KRW in research funding over three years for six laboratories, including the 'Global Research Laboratory for the Development of an Anti-Aging Precision Control Platform Using Skin Tissue Chips and AI-Based Sweat Sensor Monitoring.'
Professor Kwanggeun Lee of Dongguk University's Department of Food and Biotechnology stated, "Through the convergence of future-oriented food tech chemistry and diagnostic science, we plan to conduct research on manufacturing longevity bio-materials for aging improvement by developing skin tissue chips and real-time sweat sensors." He added, "We believe this research will establish a world-class laboratory for next-generation aging and longevity studies."
