At the beginning of this year, IrisLab, a bio startup incubating company, announced that it has started forming a professional advisory panel.

IrisLab, a company that provides shared laboratories and shared offices while supporting investment, consulting, and business operations, plans to address areas that early-stage startups found difficult to handle independently by appointing specialized personnel to the advisory panel.

The advisory panel currently consists of professional scientists affiliated with universities and government-funded research institutes, professors with top expertise in their fields, executives and management from large corporations, and patent attorneys for intellectual property management. Professor Park Taehyun, currently a professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Seoul National University, is scheduled to be appointed as the head of IrisLab starting March next year.

Professor Park Taehyun is a leading expert who has served as the 25th Chairman of the Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Creativity, the 5th and 6th Director of the Next-Generation Convergence Technology Institute, and the Director of the Bioengineering Research Institute at Seoul National University. Additionally, Dr. Ahn Seryeon, a former research professor at the Genetic Engineering Research Institute of Seoul National University, will join as the chief research officer to lead innovation.

An IrisLab representative explained, “We have recruited top experts with capabilities in related fields to strengthen strategies for entering advanced markets and to foster research & development.” They added, “We plan to continuously recruit advisors. We welcome advice from researchers with diverse technological ideas, executives interested in technology commercialization, accountants, patent attorneys, and experts in investment.”
