Nov 05, 2025
On September 23, Hallym University Medical Center (Director Kim Yong-sun) completed the 14th Hallym-Upsala International Academic Symposium held at Upsala University Hospital in Sweden.
Under the theme of 「Future Medicine and Innovative Research for the Aged Society」, this year's symposium presented various research results related to the aged society, including the development of treatments for Alzheimer's disease, diagnosis of aging-related neurodegenerative diseases, nutritional strategies for the elderly, and AI-based care for the elderly.
The symposium was held from 9:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the H: Son Holmdal Auditorium at Uppsala University, and various lectures were held, starting with the opening speeches of Yoon Hee-sung, chairman of Ilsong Academy and Andes Hagfeld, president of Uppsala University.
For Hallym University Medical Center, ▲ Choi Eun-kyung, director of Ilsong Life Science Institute at Hallym University, said 'PAD enzyme and protein citrullination: biomarkers and therapeutic targets in aging and neurodegeneration' ▲ Professor Kim Young-eun of neurology at Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital 'Aging, immunity, And Parkinson's Disease: From α-synuclein pathology to immunoproteasome activity' ▲ Professor Kim Jae-jin of the Department of Life Sciences at Hallym University 'R-loop-induced dielectric instability: Key mechanisms leading cancer and aging' ▲ Professor Park So-hyun of the Department of Food and Nutrition at Hallym University 'Theory and Strategy of Seniors Nutrition for Health Aging' ▲ Professor Won Dong-ok of the Department of Artificial Intelligence Convergence at Hallym University 'AI-based Research on Digital Healthcare for Seniors: Possibilities and Challenges.
From Uppsala University, ▲Professor Dag Sehlin of the Department of Public Health and Care Sciences 'Development of Lecanemab, the first disease-control treatment for Alzheimer's disease, and Insight into the first year of clinical use' ▲Professor Stina Syvanen of the Department of Public Health and Care Sciences' Implications for the diagnosis of aging-related neurodegenerative diseases and patient selection in emerging treatments' ▲Professor Jan Dumanski of the Department of Immunology, Genetics and Pathology'Y Chromosome Loss on Men's Health'▲?Can Peter Nordstrom Professor of Care Sciences 'Slow down aging? Lessons from Healthy Aging Initiatives' ▲Information Technology (Image Analysis Center) Professor Natasa Sladoje 'AI Models in Healthcare: Understanding and Trust' ▲ Can Researcher Anna Nordstrom 'Artificial Intelligence be seen invisible? I gave a lecture on the redefinition of coronary artery risk through AI-FFR.
In addition, Professor Park No-seop of the Department of Convergence Scientific Investigation at Hallym University and Professor Park Sung-mi of the AI Convergence Research Institute at Hallym University held an academic seminar on AI-based criminal investigation and scientific investigation with Professor Mary Allen's team at Uppsala University. Through this, the two organizations agreed to strengthen regional-global linkage research cooperation based on convergence clusters, a representative project of the Hallym University Glocal University project.
The symposium was attended by Yoon Hee-sung, chairman of Ilsong Academy, Choi Yang-hee, president of Hallym University Medical School, Yoo Kyung-ho, dean of Hallym University Medical School, Kim Hyung-nyeon, chairman of the International Academic Committee of Hallym University Medical Center (Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Gangnam Sacred Heart Hospital), Uppsala University President Andes Hagfeld, senior vice president Mats Lourhead, and vice president Eva Tien-su Jansson, who continued academic and research exchanges.
Chairman of the International Academic Committee Kim Hyung-nyeon said, `This symposium was a meaningful place to share academic wisdom and research results to solve the common problem of an aging society.' `Hallim University Medical Center will continue to lead aging research and future medical care through close cooperation with Uppsala University.'
Meanwhile, the Hallym-Upsala International Academic Symposium is an academic exchange event that has been hosted alternately by both institutions since its inception in 2010, and has established itself as a global academic network through academic exchanges and joint research on various research topics such as medicine, life science, and artificial intelligence.
