  YU (President Noh, Seok Kyun) held an international symposium for announcing the latest research results on early diagnosis and treatment methods for aging and aging-associated diseases.

 This symposium, which was jointly held by the YU Protein Sensor Research Center (director Cho, Kyung Hyun), the Serum Bio Medical Research and Specialized Human Resources Fostering Project Team, and the Institute of Physiology of the National Academy of Science of Belarus, was held at the YU Biotechnology Hall Room 210 from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on the 26th.

 This international symposium was held to search for early diagnosis and treatment methods inflammations that cause aging and senile diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes through convergence studies of biotechnology, electronic engineering, basic medicine and nanotechnology.

 In the first session, National Academy of Science of Belarus Professor Vladimir Kulchitsky held a presentation on 'Occurrence and progress of inflammation and its path connecting to pain and aging', followed by YU College of Medicine Physiology Department Professor Doh, Kyung Oh's study titled 'Effects of growth factors on obesity and aging in adipose cells'.

 In the second session, National Academy of Science of Belarus Professor Andrey Denisov made a presentation on 'Study results on neural networks involved in the signal transduction in the cranial nerve regions' and lastly, YU Department of Electronic Engineering Professor Kim, Sung Ho made a presentation on 'Technologies for finding singularities in skin organs and diagnosing diseases using high-resolution camera systems'.

 YU School of Biotechnology Professor Cho, Kyung Hyun, who prepared this international symposium, said, "It is anticipated that joint studies between YU and the National Academy of Science of Belarus will be activated through this event," and added "I hope that this international convergence research will help in developing diagnosis and treatment methods for aging and aging-associated diseases."

 Meanwhile, prior to this international symposium on the 25th, the YU Protein Sensor Research Center, Serum Bio Medical Research and Specialized Human Resources Fostering Project Team, and the National Academy of Science of Belarus signed an MOU on collaborative research.
