Kyung Hee Football Team Claims First National Championship in 48 Years as Athletic Teams Celebrate a String of Victories
2025-08-25 Academic
Kyung Hee’s football team captured the title at the 61st National University Football Championship, its first in 48 years and its first national tournament victory in a decade. The achievement was especially meaningful, as the team demonstrated resilience and composure by prevailing in all four of its penalty shootouts during the competition. “We’ve stumbled in shootouts so many times before, so to finally come through in all four this year makes the win extra special,” said Head Coach Kwangjin Kim. “To bring home a championship after 48 long years is humbling, but it’s also a moment we’ll cherish forever.”More -
Agricultural Waste Product Find New Life as Eco-Friendly UV-Blocking Films
2025-08-18 Research
Professor Jungmok You and his research team at the Department of Convergent Biotechnology and Advanced Materials Science have transformed rice husks, an abundant agricultural waste product, into high-performance films that are both eco-friendly and effective at blocking ultraviolet (UV) rays. Made from lignocellulose nanofibers (LCNFs), the films offer a sustainable solution for managing light and could be used in applications ranging from UV-protection masks to energy-efficient building materials. The research was published online on July 14, 2025, in Chemical Engineering Journal under the title, “Lignin-tailored lignocellulose nanofiber films for light management using a deep eutectic solvent.”More -
Needle-Free Cancer Protection With an Inhalable Nanovaccine
2025-08-18 Research
Professor Thavasyappan Thambi, a research professor at the Graduate School of Biotechnology, has developed a novel nanovaccine platform that can be delivered intranasally to both prevent and treat cancer. The study was published online on Apr 12, 2025, in the international journal Biomaterials (IF=14.0, top 5% in JCR) under the title, “Bioengineered metastatic cancer nanovaccine with a TLR7/8 agonist for needle-free intranasal immunization.”More -
Artificial Cells That Work Without the Need for Biological Membranes
2025-08-18 Research
Professor Kyungtae Kang and his research team at the Department of Applied Chemistry have developed artificial cell structures capable of maintaining structural stability and regulating reactivity without relying on biological membranes. The findings were published online on May 12, 2025, in the international journal Small (IF=12.1) under the title, “Active Armoring of Protocell Condensates with Metal–Phenolic Networks,” and the study was highlighted on the journal’s Inside Back Cover in recognition of its significance.More -
Decoding the Lupus Gene: Professor Kwangwoo Kim of the Department of Biology Unlocks the Origin of Lupus
2025-08-04 Research
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), commonly known as lupus, is a well-known autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakes healthy cells for foreign invaders and attacks them, causing inflammation and tissue damage in major organs across the body. While complex factors, including genetics, environment, and sex hormones, contribute to risk, the exact pathogenesis of lupus has remained unclear. In response to this challenge, Professor Kwangwoo Kim's research team at the Department of Biology developed a customized reference panel tailored for the Koreans, capable of high-resolution analysis of genetic information in the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) region of human DNA. Using this panel, the team analyzed genome data from approximately 70,000 individuals and identified key genetic variants closely linked to the development of lupus.More
