The awards ceremony will be held at the 38th Spring Conference of the Korean Diabetes Association, which will be held at the Hwabaek Convention Center in Gyeongju on Saturday, May 10, and Professor Kim Kyung-soo will be awarded a weak performance award and a prize of 10 million won.
The 'Young Investigator Award', an academic award given to medical personnel who have contributed to the development of diabetes research in Korea, will be selected by examining research papers published as the first author or lead author in the internationally prestigious journal (SCI Journal) for members of the Korean Diabetes Association under the age of 45.
Professor Kim Kyung-soo, who was selected as this year's winner, was recognized for his contribution to the development of diabetes research in Korea by conducting active research activities. A representative paper is a study on the effects of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease on patients with type 2 diabetes. This study confirmed that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease increases cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in diabetic patients. In February 2024, the paper was published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), a medical journal with high global influence in recognition of its research excellence.
