May 01, 2025
Professor Lee Min-woo of the Department of Neurology at Hallim University Sacred Heart Hospital won the 'Young Researcher Award' at the Spring Conference of the Korean Stroke Association held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Seoul on the 25th.
Every year, the Korean Stroke Association selects and awards one researcher who has achieved outstanding research achievements in the field of stroke or cerebrovascular disease among members under the age of 40. Winners will evaluate the impact factor of papers published in SCIE-listed journals over the past two years.
From 2023 to 2024, Professor Lee Min-woo has been active in research by publishing 14 SCIE papers (71 total IF points) related to cerebrovascular disease as the first author and corresponding author. In particular, it is contributing to the treatment of stroke patients in Korea through quantitative analysis and artificial intelligence and big data-based convergence research in the field of cognitive impairment and vascular dementia after stroke.
Representative papers published in 2024 include ▲Prediction of cognitive impairment after acute ischemic stroke using machine learning (published by: Alzheimer's Research & Therapy, IF=8.0) ▲ Trend analysis on the prognosis of atrial fibrillation-related acute ischemic stroke and the effects of new oral anticoagulants (published by Stroke, IF=7.9) ▲The effect of depression after percutaneous coronary intervention on stroke and mortality risk (published by: Journal of Internal Medicine, IF=9.0).
In addition, Professor Lee was recently selected for the "2025 Outstanding Advanced Research Projects for Personal Basic Research Projects" organized by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Research Foundation. The research topic is 'Examination of Netrin-1's neuroprotective mechanism and role as a diagnostic biomarker in vascular cognitively impaired patients and animal models'. With a total of 650 million won in research funds for three years, the research will be conducted to develop new treatments for vascular dementia.
Professor Lee is honored to receive a meaningful award and wants to be a researcher who can contribute to solving cognitive decline and quality of life problems experienced by stroke patients"We will continue to conduct extensive research with the aim of developing patient-centered precision medicine research, developing predictive models, and preparing evidence-based intervention strategies in the field of cerebrovascular disease as well as cognitive impairment and vascular dementia after stroke.
" he said.
Professor Lee Min-woo graduated from Hallym University School of Medicine and received master's and doctorate degrees from the same graduate school. Currently, he is an assistant professor of neurology at Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital and is actively engaged in academic activities as a general secretary and information officer of the Korean Stroke Association, a medical guideline member, and an international member of the Korean Neurology Association. It also won the 2019 Minister of Health and Welfare Award, the 2022 Korea-Japan Stroke Association Academic Conference Excellence Award, and the 2023 International Stroke Conference (ICSU) with the best green award 'Paul Dudley White International Scholar Award' and 'Junior Investigator Award'.
