Recently, he became the first winner of the \'Moheon Bio-Pharmacy Young Scientists Awards\'. The \'Moheon Bio-Pharmacy Young Scientists Awards\' is an award made at the personal expense of honorary professor Lee, Seung-gi, who retired from the Seoul National University College of Pharmacy, to foster young scientists. The award is granted to young scientists in graduate school or post-doc researchers who have published an outstanding thesis. Dr. Thapa received the honors at the awarding ceremony at the 20th anniversary symposium of the Bio-Pharmacy Research Association on the 16th. Dr. Thapa, who studied at the national Tribhuvan University (Kathmandu), which is Nepal\'s best university, enrolled at the Yeungnam University College of Pharmacy PhD program in September 2006. Prior to coming to study abroad, he had a managerial position at the brand development department of a beer company in Nepal, and rather than taking a high salary and stable lifestyle, he chose to become a researcher. And by the time he received his PhD in December 2009, he published over 10 theses in SCI and SCIE (Science Citation Index Expanded) level international journals on research of colon cancer. This resulted in him being hired as a research professor at the Yeungnam University College of Pharmacy in March and also winning the Young Scientists Awards. He is currently studying vascularization in the cancer cell metastasis process, and his dream spend his life researching the bio-pharmacy sector. However, he is planning to suspend his research temporarily next month and return to his home country. He is going to wed his fiance who has stood by his side waiting for the past 4 years. He was happy to give his wife a meaningful wedding gift and said, \"I am ever-more honored because this award is from private funds given by veteran professors in pharmacy and bio-science sectors to foster younger scientists.\" He added, \"I am able to receive this honor because of my colleagues and under-classmen that have shown the best teamwork in a family-like environment in the lab, and Professor Kim, Jung-ae, who always demanded our very best.\" <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_02683046616688608 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard/cheditor/show_image.php?im=2010-12-30_13-49-01_495.jpg\" target=_blank> [Colleagues of the research lab and Professor Kim, Jung-ae (second from the right) congratulating Dr. Thapa\'s awarding] Professor Kim, Jung-ae (College of Pharmacy), who guided him as he wrote his PhD thesis, stated, \"It\'s become a problem that the younger generation of Korea are increasingly avoiding natural sciences or engineering majors, so I hope that the success story of Dr. Thapa who gave up his guaranteed lifestyle in search of his dreams will be know far and wide so that talented students will study in natural sciences or engineering.\" <See article related> <yonhapnews>2010-6-21 http://app.yonhapnews.co.kr/YNA/Basic/article/new_search/YIBW_showSearchArticle.aspx?searchpart=article&searchtext=%ec%98%81%eb%82%a8%eb%8c%80&contents_id=AKR20100621129800053 <Kyunghyang Shinmun>2010-6-22 http://news.khan.co.kr/kh_news/khan_art_view.html?artid=201006211727505&code=100203 <The Seoul Economic>2010-6-22 http://economy.hankooki.com/lpage/opinion/201006/e2010062114353248200.htm <Maeil Shinmun>2010-6-22 http://www.imaeil.com/sub_news/sub_news_view.php?news_id=25460&yy=2010 <Electronic Times>2010-6-22 http://www.etnews.co.kr/news/detail.html?id=201006210111 <Yeongnamilbo>2010-6-22 http://www.yeongnam.com/yeongnam/html/yeongnamdaily/collar/article.shtml?id=20100622.010250711100001 <The Financial News>2010-6-22 http://www.fnnews.com/view?ra=Sent1601m_View&corp=fnnews&arcid=0922020458&cDateYear=2010&cDateMonth=06&cDateDay=21 <Kyongbukilbo>2010-6-22 http://www.kyongbuk.co.kr/main/news/news_content.php?id=493875&news_area=080&news_divide=08001&news_local=&effect=4 <Daeguilbo>2010-6-22 http://www.idaegu.com/new/pages/sub.php?load=su&bcode=ALAE&no=6525 <Kuminilbo>2010-6-23 http://news.kukinews.com/article/view.asp?page=1&gCode=kmi&arcid=0003842214&cp=du

This time they are Lee, Ji-hye (23), who is in her first year in her master\'s degree course and Park, Jeong-heun (22), who is a senior in her undergraduate course. They found an important clue in preventing arteriosclerosis and published their clinical research thesis in the June issue of 《the International Journal of Molecular Medicine》. <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_05819085806527986 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard/cheditor/show_image.php?im=2010-12-30_13-39-52_495.jpg\" target=_blank> [Lee, Ji-hye (left) and Park, Jeong-heun (right) are speaking with Professor Cho, Kyung-hyun (center) while looking at their thesis that published in the SCI journal] After analyzing a 64 year old Korean woman who had hyperlipidemia, but had low density lipoprotein (LDL), and thus did not show signs of arteriosclerosis, they discovered that it is essential to lower the value of LDL from cholesterol. This suggested a new direction on existing research that focused on lowering the overall value of cholesterol, and it was recognized for its value in the international society through the publication of the thesis. Park, Jeong-heun commented, \"I was able to place my name on the SCI journal as an undergraduate student because of Ji-hye.\" Meanwhile, Lee, Ji-hye praised Park, Jeong-heun stating, \"It was possible to complete tests that would have been difficult to do alone because of Jeong-heun\'s help and so we were able to attain good results.\" She added, \"She never complained of the frequent all-nighters last semester and I really thank her for being such a great research partner.\" <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_02782144359040765 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard/cheditor/show_image.php?im=2010-12-30_13-40-24_495.jpg\" target=_blank> Lee, Ji-hye is planning to present the research results by participating in the 78th European Arteriosclerosis Conference to be held in Hamburg, Germany in the middle of this month. Park, Jeong-heun, who will begin her master\'s degree course next semester will also participate in the HDL Research Conference to be held in Reus, Spain in September and is planning to present the research results of the aging-suppression tests that she is currently working on. Thus, Professor Cho, Kyung-hyun\'s research lab has continued its tradition of \'undergraduate student SCI thesis publication\'. This first started in December 2008. At the time, Park, Gi-hoon (25, the 3rd master\'s and doctorate\'s combined program), who was at the time a senior, became the first to discover that proteins extracted from Hyphantria cunea could be transformed using bio-engineering technologies to treat atherosclerosis, and published his paper in the Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, which was the second most authoritative international journal in the related sector. Furthermore, it was an issue because the main author of the paper was an undergraduate student. Also in the past January, Jang, Wook-joo (21), a junior, became the first in the world to clarify the aging-promotion mechanism of fructose and was listed as the first author in the SCI listed journal called Biochemical Biophysical Research Communication. Moreover, the research results were used to apply for a patent on the development of a treatment for suppressing metabolic syndromes such as aging-suppression and diabetes/arteriosclerosis, which is a rare achievement for an undergraduate student. This was achieved through the \'undergraduate research program (URP)\' support of the Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science & Creativity, and after completing the project, Choi was also selected as the best S-level student in the analysis. This resulted in receiving the presidential award bestowed to \'Y-type Talents\' at the Yeungnam University 63rd Anniversary. Such achievements are the results of passing down the passion for academic exploration by seniors to juniors. Jang, Wook-joo and Park Jeong-heun could be recognized internationally for their research achievements despite the fact that they were undergraduates because Park, Gi-hoo and Lee, Ji-hye become their the role models. Professor Cho, Kyung-hyun (42), who is in charge of the lab, stated, \"Thanks to the diligence of Gi-hoon, who was nicknamed \'Kant of the School of Biotechnology\' and came to school everyday at 8 am and stayed until past 9 pm, the entire lab is filled with the passion to study.\" He added, \"I hope that senior and junior students will continue to collaborate to achieve great results and continue the tradition of our lab that continues to accumulate such achievements.\" Meanwhile, Professor Cho, Kyung-hyun, was recently introduced in the Researchers Page of the National Research Foundation of Korea for the accumulated research results on aging and arteriosclerosis.

While they are abroad, they receive scholarships for tuition at Yeungnam University, as well as that for the tuition and registration fees at the respective universities. Cho, Hyeon-dae (27, School of Business), who is in his last semester at St. John\'s University since attending there in the second semester of 2008, said, \"I didn\'t have to worry about tuition since I received a full scholarship while studying in the US, and on top of that, I was able to receive my master\'s degree a year ahead of everyone else. Since I\'ve received the best opportunity, I will do my best to receive global recognition in the accounting field.\" Joo, Sang-woo (51, School of Mechanical Engineering), vice-president of International Programs, stated, \"The fact that students can invest the same amount of time with others and receive a degree at both Yeungnam University and prominent schools abroad results in reduced opportunity costs, and it will also calculate into enhancing their international competitiveness.\" <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_009973001485206978 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard/cheditor/show_image.php?im=2010-10-13_10-15-38_495.jpg\" target=_blank> From next year, an international dual degree program is also being planned with the University of Cergy-Pontoise of France. The University of Cergy-Pontoise is a public university of France established in 1991, and currently has 29,000 students enrolled in 150 different majors, and is also conducting interchange with 150 schools all around the world. It signed a general exchange agreement with Yeungnam University in 2004, and has been conducting student exchange programs since 2006. <Photo: International Dual Degree Program Signing Ceremony> For universities in China, over 50 students have been or are in their dual degree course at Yeungnam University since 2005. Yeungnam University is also operating a dual degree program for international students from Chinese universities. This is because with the increase of exchange between Korea and China, as well as the Hallyu wave, there has been a growth in Chinese students wishing to receive a degree at Korean universities. Thus, Yeungnam University agreed on a dual degree program with Beihua University and Huazhong University of Education of China in September 2004 and July 2006, respectively. Since 2005, over 50 Chinese students came to Yeungnam University and currently, over 30 student are enrolled in undergraduate and graduate school programs of Yeungnam University.

<BODY style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; MARGIN: 5px; FONT-FAMILY: gulim; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff\"> Young scientist that represents the nation in the LED sector Participated by leaders of Korea, China and Japan, expected to promote interest in \'green technologies\' [May 10, 2010] <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_040128868341466306 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard/cheditor/show_image.php?im=2010-10-12_14-21-18_495.jpg\" target=_blank> Professor of Jang, Ja-soon (38, Department of Electronic engineering, photo) of Yeungnam University will be participating in the \'1st Korea-China-Japan Young Scientists Workshop\' as the Korean representative in the LED sector. This workshop, which will be held as a secondary event of the \'Korea-China-Japan summit meeting\' in Jeju-do on the 29th and 30th, will attract young scientists of the 3 nations in Northeast Asia concerning the theme of \'Green Wave to Open an Environment-Friendly Future\'. The workshop will be on four main categories and 19 sub-sectors of Green IT (Power IT, Smart Grid, LED). Green Energy (Atomic Power, Nuclear Fusion, Solar Power, Solar Cell, Hydrogen Fuel Cell, Secondary Cells), Green City (Urban Regeneration, Environment-friendly Architecture, Green Traffic, Ecological Area Establishment), and Green Environment (Carbon Circulation Monitoring, Climate Monitoring/Forecast, Ecology Monitoring, Water Circulation Monitoring, Water Resources Management, etc). KISTEP (Korea Institute of Science & Technology Evaluation and Planning), which is hosting the workshop, selected 20 experts in the different fields, and Professor Jang was selected as the Korean representative for the LED sector in the Green IT category. A group of candidates for the workshop were selected through rigid screening after being recommended by relevant industry-academic-research institutes, as well as research foundation pools, green development pools, and experts. In the last five years, Professor Jang published 35 SCI theses in the LED sectors, made 30 presentations in international academic conferences, and possesses 3 international patents and 19 domestic patents. Such astonishing research accomplishments shows that Professor Jang is a young scientist that can represent the nation in the LED sector. Professor Jang is currently leading the \'Yeungnam University LED-IT Fusion Technology Research Center\' in which 41 billion won will be invested for the next five years from the Ministry of Knowledge Economy, local governments and cooperating businesses, and is pursuing the development LED-IT platform technologies and commercialization technologies with the goal of creating the \'World\'s Top 3 LED Fusion Industrial Complex\' and \'LED Fusion Industrial Hub of Northeast Asia\', while also constructing a patent bank and patent technology map, as well as developing an LED-IT fusion industrial complex model. Prior to participating in the workshop, Professor Jang emphasized the importance of LED fusion technologies by stating, \"LEDs are truly a great invention that it may be called the revolution of light of the 21st century. The possibilities are infinite when combining it with IT technologies that exceed time and space, and we can only imagine how much revolutionary changes will be brought about for our lives. First off, people will feel for themselves just how much their surrounding environment has changed. Once all the lights that surround us, such as street lights, automobile lights, home lighting, and neon signs on buildings, are changed to LEDs, we will not only be able to cut expenses used for power, but also live in a much more pleasant environment.\" Meanwhile, leaders of Korea, China and Japan are also scheduled to stop by the workshop and encourage the participants, and thus international interest on green technologies can be expected.
