Mar 12, 2025
Hallym University's New Frontier Research Institute (Director Lee Jae-joon) won the Ilsong Award (medical field) at the 18th Ilsong Award Ceremony held in the International Conference Room of Hallim University's International Conference Hall on the 12th.
The Ilsong Award is an academic award established in 2006 to commemorate the educational philosophy of the late Dr. Yoon Deok-sun (1921-1996), the founder of Hallym University who devoted his life to university education, medical education, and medical service. This academic award has been given annually to one expert who has achieved outstanding achievements in medicine, education, and community service. The winners are selected by the Ilsong Memorial Project of Hallym University.
The New Frontier Research Institute was established in 2018 under the judgment that it is essential to establish an infrastructure for physician scientists to devote themselves to research and to put ideas from clinical sites into practical use through R&D. Currently, it is developing original technologies necessary for diagnosis, treatment, and prediction based on basic-clinical mediation scientific research, and innovating research in related fields with the aim of commercializing and commercializing convergence R&D medical research.
Gangwon-do Province, where the research institute is located, has a high rate of aging and has a high prevalence of brain diseases, so it is important to keep the golden time. In response, the New Frontier Research Institute is focusing on researching cranial nervous system diseases, developing nanomaterials and cell therapy materials to treat cerebral hemorrhage damage, establishing a clinical decision support system (CDSS) that can predict and diagnose high-risk groups for cerebrovascular diseases, researching personalized new drug targets and patient management technology, and developing a non-face-to-face consultation platform for cerebral hemorrhage patients.
Since its establishment, it has generated more than 555 SCI papers and 173 patents, and has developed a number of disease prediction and diagnosis models focusing on brain diseases, such as developing artificial intelligence models for premature birth prediction, developing gastroscopy diagnostic assistive medical devices using artificial intelligence, and developing a non-face-to-face consultation platform for cerebral hemorrhage.
As a result, it received the highest grade (S) in the final evaluation of the clinician scientist research capability enhancement project in 2021, and was selected for the Korea Forest Service R&D project, the first pan-ministerial biomedical device development project, the research-oriented hospital development R&D project (detailed responsibility), and the innovative future research and medical center development project in 2024 to attract a total of 47.3 billion in research funds.
Choi Yang-hee, President of Hallym University (Chairman of Ilsong Memorial Foundation), said in a congratulatory speech "It is based on respect for life, community service, and love for mankind as well as outstanding research."I give the best praise to the New Frontier Research Institute, the winner of the award."
Song Ho-geun, head of the Doheon Academy at Hallym University who is a member of the Ilsong Sang Recommendation Committee, said "New Frontier Research Institute is a leading institution for innovative research and practical use in the medical and bio fields, and has produced outstanding research results, contributed to the development of medical care in the community, and led medical innovation."The research institute's achievements and capabilities so far are considered to have contributed greatly to the development of domestic and international medical research."
Lee Jae-joon, the winner of the research institute, established the institute after selecting the 'Clinical Scientist Research Competency Reinforcement Project' in 2017. At the time of its establishment, research began in poor infrastructure, and there were many difficult moments. However, through constant efforts and continuous growth, we are very meaningful, honored, and grateful to receive the Ilsong Award in 2025." I think this is not just an achievement, but a valuable result made by the unabated passion of the members of the institute. The belief that the future of hospitals is research is ultimately the will that the best treatment for patients should be based on scientific evidence and innovative research. We will continue to challenge and develop to pioneer the future of hospitals and open up new horizons in healthcare," he said of his feelings and determination.
Meanwhile, the New Frontier Research Institute is actively conducting basic-clinical intermediary research such as research on causes and pathogenesis of various cerebrovascular diseases, development of medical artificial intelligence algorithms, development of new drugs, and precision medical research based on dielectric substance, It is promoting global research competitiveness through research cooperation with overseas research institutes such as Harvard and Stanford, playing a major role in creating results at Hallim University and Glocal University.
More than 150 people attended the award ceremony, including Lee Jae-joon, chairman of the institute, relatives and acquaintances, Yoon Hee-sung, chairman of Ilsong Academy, Choi Yang-hee, president of Hallym University, and Song Ho-geun, chairman of Doheon Academy.
