Congratulations, Yunhee!
Yunhee has been awarded the Silver Prize at the 31st Samsung Human-Tech Paper Award for her groundbreaking research utilizing stem cell-based mini-brain technology to elucidate the mechanisms underlying schizophrenia. The prestigious competition is hosted by Samsung Electronics and co-sponsored by the Ministry of Science & ICT and Korea JoongAng Daily.
Her study, titled "Creation of Uniform and Mature Forebrain Assembloids for Modeling Human Schizophrenia Brain Development," earned her the Silver Prize, along with a 10 million KRW cash award. This research was conducted under the guidance of Professor Kunyoo Shin, with contributions from Dr. Eunji Kim, a postdoctoral researcher.
Established in 1994 by Samsung Electronics, the Samsung Human-Tech Paper Award aims to foster scientific and technological advancements while supporting promising young researchers. Papers are evaluated in ten fields for university students through a three-stage review process consisting of abstract screening, document review, and oral presentation. Each submission is assessed based on creativity, logical reasoning, applicability, future potential, and presentation skills.
With 3,152 papers submitted this year, Yunhee’s achievement is truly remarkable.
Congratulations once again to Yunhee for this outstanding accomplishment!
