Global Bio Researchers to Gather in Chuncheon... International Summit at Kangwon National University on Nov. 14
Chuncheon City: Experts from Johns Hopkins, Rutgers and other institutions to participate
Discuss drug development using space environments
10 bio companies and 50 research achievements to be showcased
Bio researchers from Korea and abroad, including those from Johns Hopkins University, Rutgers University, and the University of Hong Kong, will gather at Kangwon National University on November 14. They will share the latest findings, from drug development using space environments to neuroscience and cancer and immunology research, and discuss ways to conduct joint research with universities and companies in the Chuncheon area.
Chuncheon City said on November 12 that it will hold the K-BioX GLOBAL BIO INNOVATION SUMMIT at Kangwon National University’s Industry-Academia-Research Innovation Hub on November 14. Yuk Dong-han is the mayor of Chuncheon.
The event is hosted by Chuncheon City and organized by Kangwon National University and the Global Korean Life Sciences Association (K-BioX). It will feature a keynote address, followed by a special lecture on drug development using space environments. Presentations will also cover drug development in neuroscience, cancer and immunology research, and the overseas expansion of bio companies.
The event follows a business agreement signed by Chuncheon City and K-BioX in Boston, United States, in June 2025. The two organizations first connected at Korea University in 2024 and jointly held an international symposium in Boston in 2025. At the time, they agreed to cooperate on joint research in AI-based health management and organoids, support for Chuncheon bio companies seeking to enter the U.S. market, and exchanges of research personnel.
Ten bio companies from Korea and abroad will showcase their technologies and products at the event. Fifty research achievements will be presented as posters, and nine outstanding entries will receive awards, including the Chuncheon Mayor’s Award. A program will also give company representatives and researchers three minutes each to introduce their technologies and research achievements.
The Future Scientist Camp, for middle and high school students and university students, will feature expert lectures and career exploration programs in bio-image analysis, organoids and regenerative medicine, and AI bioinformatics. There will also be a hands-on activity where elementary and middle school students can create games using AI.
