. Welcome from President

PART 1

UST offers an ecosystem for human resource development in science and technology

Today we are living in a time of unprecedented changes in knowledge system which is characterized by explosion of new knowledge and information with fast shortening life cycle. Under such dynamic knowledge system,one can develop creative breakthroughs only by transcending the boundaries of disciplines for interdisciplinary communication and convergence. UST was created to train and nurture global research scientists and engineers who can respond to the needs of the 21st century through interdisciplinary communications and convergence.

UST was founded in 2003 jointly by 29 government-funded R&D institutes (GRIs) as an institution of advanced educationin science and engineering directly linked to research and development activities. Despite the short history, the USTgraduate program proved very effective as evidenced by the scientific quality of its graduates. UST students havepublished high quality scientific papers in various areas in world top journals, such as Nature, Science, and others.As such, UST promises to grow as a world class university specialized in on-site research education.

Such an achievement has been made possible by the combination of the educational programs of UST and theexcellent research scientists and engineers as well as the superb research facilities and systems of GRIs whichconstitute the faculty of UST. UST provides students with not only top-level research mentors but also excellentenvironments, in which students can engage in creative research and development.

Based on the achievement, UST is now preparing for a take-off for another transition. We are working on a Mid-LongTerm Development Plan toward the Year 2020, while at the same time, upgrading the academic programs, whichwill set a direction for the development of UST as a model institute for Academia-Research-Industry collaboration.

UST will focus more on improving the quality of education and thus the quality of graduates as scientists andengineers. Our efforts are geared to creating an ecosystem that can attract top talents from around the world bycontinuously innovating curricula and upgrading research facilities and environments, while at the same time,expanding networks for research and education. We aim to equip young scientists and engineers with not onlyintelligence and creativity but also the spirit of risk-taking, on the basis of which they can generate new knowledgeand values and meet the challenges facing the human society.

UST provides opportunities to interact with top-level scientists and engineers with various backgrounds as well as toparticipate in in-depth research in diverse areas. UST is a home to professors and students who aspire to create anew future and will always be open to those who want to realize their scientific potential.

Thank you. LEE, Un Woo Ph.D.

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