Nov 20, 2025
Professor Seo Hyo-jung of the Department of Nuclear Medicine at Gachon University Gil Hospital (Hospital President Kim Woo-kyung) was selected as the winner of the "2025 National Standard and Technology Review Distinguished Service in the Medical Products Sector" and received a commendation from the Minister of Food and Drug Safety on the 19th.
Professor Seo Hyo-jung was recognized for his leading development of national and international standards in the field of radiation medical devices and medical products. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety confirmed Professor Seo as the final winner of this year's Distinguished Service Award after going through a screening process with the recommendation agency (KTR). The award was presented at the 「Medical Device Safety Management Development Forum」 held at Lotte Hotel World in Seoul.
In particular, Professor Seo attended the International Standards Conference held at the Italian Institute of Standards this year as a representative expert in Korea and actively led discussions on the NP (new proposal) of performance standards for radiation medical products. At this meeting, despite negative opinions from Japan, major countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany reportedly showed high interest in Professor Seo's proposal and expressed active support. This is evaluated as an unusual achievement in which domestic experts led the direction of international standards in multinational cooperation.
Professor Seo has contributed greatly to strengthening national standard capabilities by playing various roles such as ▲ standard research on performance evaluation of radiation diagnosis and treatment devices ▲ strengthening expertise in medical product technology review ▲ preparing international standard proposals and establishing technical grounds.
Professor Seo Hyo-jung said, "It is a great honor to receive a meaningful award in the process of conducting research and screening for the development of national medical product standards. We will continue to contribute to the improvement of the reliability and international competitiveness of the domestic medical device industry through the development of standards based on international cooperation and technology evaluation."
