Chonnam National University has once again solidified its international reputation as Korea's leading institution in "nano-regenerative medicine" research by winning both the Best Paper Presentation Award (First Place) and the Excellent Paper Presentation Award at the world-renowned IEEE-NANOMED 2025, the most prestigious international conference in nanomedicine.

According to Chonnam National University on December 9, Dr. Kim Woochan and master's student Kim Dream from Professor Kim Jangho's research team in the Department of Converged Bio-System Mechanical Engineering received the Best Paper Presentation Award (First Place) and the Excellent Paper Presentation Award, respectively, at IEEE-NANOMED 2025, a global nanomedicine conference organized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

This conference, held in Hong Kong, serves as a global research platform for sharing basic and clinical research achievements in the fields of medicine and biology, based on nano and molecular medicine and engineering technologies. At the event, the Chonnam National University research team drew academic attention by presenting new research directions for the development of advanced nanomaterial-based tissue regeneration therapeutics.

Dr. Kim Woochan, who received the Best Paper Presentation Award (First Place), introduced advanced nano-regenerative material technology that combines graphene nanomaterials and tough hydrogels to enhance cell viability and function, as well as maximize various tissue regeneration effects.

Master's student Kim Dream, who received the Excellent Paper Presentation Award, was highly praised for presenting next-generation convergent stem cell spheroid-based therapeutics technology that combines ultra-fine gelatin nanoparticles, stem cells, and three-dimensional culture techniques.

Professor Kim Jangho stated, "The fact that our research team received both the Best and Excellent Paper Presentation Awards at a world-class academic conference proves Chonnam National University's research competitiveness and international influence," adding, "We will continue to strengthen our global competitiveness in fundamental research on nano-technology-based tissue regeneration and therapies for intractable diseases."

This research was carried out with the support of the Mid-Career Researcher Program, the Bio-Medical Technology Development Program, the Regional Innovation Leading Research Center Program, the National Research Foundation of Korea Basic Research Laboratory Program, the Digital Agriculture Professional Training and Technology Development Program, the Regional Innovation-Centered University Support System (RISE) Program, and the BK21 Phase 4 IT-Bio Convergence System Agriculture Education and Research Group.
