We at Soonchunhayng University have a long-standing commitment to make Soonchunhyang Institute of Medi-bio
Science (SIMS) a world-class research institution in biomedical sciences, through contributions of researchers
and great medical infrastructure.
Founded over nearly four decades ago as a medical school, Soonchunhyang built 4 medical centers and colleges
that are now part of a nationally-recognized health network. We now offer biomedical-related education,
research and practice through 12 specialized disciplines and provide professional services to our community.
At Soonchunhyang, basic sciences and clinical research are well-balanced, and the interrelationship between the
medical college and the centers has accumulated clinical knowledge, technology and experiences. As a medical
doctor and researcher specializing in endocrinology and metabolism, I recognize the values and possibilities of
translational research, and I firmly believe that multidisciplinary research among various disciplines is of
great necessity.
SIMS will conduct various basic and applied researches in the biomedical fields via multidisciplinary
approaches from College of Medicine, College of Medical Sciences, College of Natural Sciences and College of
Engineering. Combined faculty members from the colleges along with members from the medical centers are
participating in SIMS. They will conduct individual research and collaborate as well, wherein both basic and
applied technologies and knowledge are discussed. The discoveries from various experimental researches will
answer intellectual questions in the medical science fields and serve our society as a leading biomedical
institution in Korea.
I am proud to be a part of academic excellence at Soonchunhyang University, its medical centers and SIMS. I
invite you to join our SCH spirit ‘Respect for Humanity’, and to appreciate our challenge to make SIMS a
leading institution.
Thank you.
