Marine Biotechnology
The program includes a wide range of marine organisms with special properties, such as deep-sea microbes, seaweeds and marine animals. Among the bioresources collected from various extreme environments, a limited number of microorganisms with ecological and biotechnological criteria have been selected for the genomic study. We expect that the genome project would provide the valuable information to understand the genetic foundations of organisms adapted to life in the sea. Also, knowledge of the metabolites found in marine organisms contributes tremendously to progress in many exciting fields including biotechnology and marine bio-industry. The present study involved the systematic collection of marine organisms from various environments and attempted to isolate and structurally characterize novel substances from selected marine organisms. This research successfully demonstrated the possibilities of marine biotechnology. Professor in Charge : Jung-Hyun, Lee, +82-31-400-6243, jlee@kordi.re.kr

Biomolecular Science
The goal of bio molecular science is to raise chemists who understand biology and biologist who understand chemistry, allowing collaborations between the two fields. In turn, provide specialist in the field of drug development (Chemical or biological drugs). For a researcher to attain such a goal, theoretical and experimental expertise in both chemistry and biology is crucial. More importantly, an open mind is needed to understand the differences among each field. For example, chemistry and biology each have a unique way of approaching problems. The discovery of a new drug is the main objective for life science and is achieved through the cooperation between the experts of the two fields. Therefore, the effort to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each field is needed. The bio molecular science profession requires biology majors to do field research in chemistry and vice versa during the academic years in order to fulfill such goals.
