Development of highly sensitive quick autoimmunity diagnosis kit for COVID-19 with antibody immobilization Study on “improvement of sensitivity of quick autoimmunity diagnosis kit” led by Professor KIM Chang-seop of Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, etc. [January 6, 2022] <Research team of Department of Biochemistry of YU Graduate School> (From the left, Professor KIM Chang-seop and investigators KIM Kyeong-rok and LEE Ae-seol) YU research team proposed a method for quick diagnosis of COVID-19 and received attention. Excellence award of “National R&D Real Challenge” was given to the task of “highly sensitive quick autoimmunity diagnosis kit for COVID-19 with antibody immobilization” proposed by KIM Kyeong-rok (doctorate completion), LEE Ae-seol (doctorate 2nd year), and KIM Su-min (2nd year of master). The task was led by Professor KIM Chang-seop of Department of Biochemistry of YU and Chief Investigator SHIN Hwa-hee of Diagnostic Medical Device Team of Daegu Gyeongbuk Medical Innovation Foundation. YU research team proposed a method to improve low sensitivity of COVID-19 autoimmunity diagnosis kits which has been pointed out as an issue. They proposed “Quick autoimmunity diagnosis kit based on fusion protein and cellulose.” Investigator KIM Kyeong-rok explained the performance of the study saying, “Commercialized quick autoimmunity diagnosis kits have the advantages of low prices and availability for nonprofessionals but, as antibodies are immobilized on nitrocellulose membranes, the sensitivity is significantly low. In addition, if samples are not collected by accurate ways, the sensitivity decreases. Therefore, we intended to improve the sensitivity of the quick autoimmunity diagnosis kit for detection of COVID-19 by immobilizing antigen-binder of antibody so that is exposed out of cellulose membranes with use of the antibody immobilization method developed by our laboratory. Also, accurate sampling is possible because color change may be identified with use of pH-sensitive sampling cotton swab.” “NationalR&D Real Challenge Program” supported by the Ministry of Information & Communication and managed by Korea Institute of Human Resources Development in Science and Technology (KIRD)” is a program to strengthen research capability of engineering doctorate/master graduate school students. Graduate school students select “free subjects on solution of social and human pending issues and development of new technologies,” establish research plans, and perform duties.

[December 7, 2021] <Metaverse campus built by YU YUMC (the whole view of Central Library))> YU (President CHOI Oe-chool) invites high school students to Metaverse. YU holds an event called 'YU Minecraft Open Campus' using Metaverse. This event features to be directly planned and conducted by YUMC (Yeungnam Univ. Minecraft Server), a metaverse club of YU students. This event, which will be held four times from the 26th (Sunday) to the 28th (Tuesday), will be operated at YU's Metaverse campus built with Minecraft (Microsoft's metaverse game). Therefore, any high school student with a Minecraft account can access YU's Metaverse campus and enjoy many types of programs such as school introductions, stamp tours, and conversations with current students. In addition, the host will operate event halls for a prize draw and the other ceremony separately. The maximum number of participants per session is 40. Lastly, you could refer to YUMC's website (http://yumc.kr) showing details and participation applications. <Metaverse images of Minecraft open campus> SEO Seung-wan, president of YUMC’s metaverse club of YU, who planned this event, said, “I wanted to provide prospective college students with an opportunity to experience college life and campus environment indirectly. I hope you can experience the university campus that is difficult to visit in person through the metaverse, albeit the outbreak of COVID-19 continues for a long time. “And he also said, “We hope that the ‘YU Minecraft Open Campus’ event serves as a steppingstone linking relationship between our university and high school students.” The 'YU Metaverse Campus' has already become a hot topic because students' voluntary cooperation created it. Earlier this year, the YUMC club at YU created the YU campus using Minecraft, a representative platform that implements the metaverse. In the metaverse, the main buildings still symbolize YU: the central library, student union hall, open-air auditorium, Cheonma Art Center, and International Exchange Center, built as their actual shapes on the YU's campus. In addition to constructing the exterior of the campus building, social relationships in daily campus life are realized and maintained as it is in the metaverse world, where students share information and conduct various events. For example, in the library's reading room, only YU students can know and share pieces of information such as good restaurants near YU, tips for course registration, and test information. In addition, the entrance ceremony earlier this year, led by students, and various exchange meetings and events like a farewell party for military service are also taking place. < YU metaverse campus video produced by the club named YU YUMC> ▶ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjrtwqlYpQQ

A thesis reported by co-authors Nam Ga-hyeon (23) and Lee Geon (22) of 4th Grade of Department of Materials Science and Engineering was inserted in a famous international journal in ceramic area, Ceramics International, with 4.527 of IF in November and, in August, the thesis reported by Lee Seung-ah (22) as lead author was inserted in Journal of Asian Ceramic Societies, IF 3.125. The theses reported by them are the performances of a task performed by Functional Materials, Devices Lab of Department of Materials Science and Engineering, YU. Nam Ga-hyeon and Lee Geon reported the result of a study on maximization of efficiency of energy storage materials. They manufactured a ferroelectric ceramic material for charge/discharge of high energy in nano-film type and developed a technology to maximize energy storage. Lee Geon said, “Electrochemical energy storage such as batteries has the advantage to supply a device with electric energy for a long time but is not suitable for instantaneous charge and discharge. However, capacitor using static electricity is suitable for instantaneous charge and discharge but is difficult to store large energy. The developed nano-structure material is suitable for instantaneous charge and discharge, has high energy storage density, and may be used for electric cars which require high energy instantaneously.” Lee Seung-Ah reported the result of a study on “energy harvesting technology to use the energy discarded in daily life. Lee Seung-Ah developed a ceramic-based intelligent energy harvest material. The technology may substitute traditional power supply technology from batteries and power may be continuously supplied by a wireless sensor without charging or other control. Lee Seung-Ah said, “IoT wireless sensor network, which is highlighted as a core hardware technology in the 4th industry, requires a power source technology to substitute traditional batteries or supplement battery lifetime. The developed material may be manufactured at about 10% of costs compared with traditional energy harvest materials and durability and environmental credibility may also be guaranteed. Commercialization of energy harvesting technology may be further encouraged.” Professor Ryu Jeong-ho of Department of Materials Science and Engineering who advised them commented, “The technology for efficient generation and storage of energy is essential to solve world energy and environmental issues. Undergraduate students developed a technology for efficient conversion of electric energy to be discarded in daily life using a low-priced material and a technology on a material for instantaneous charge and discharge with high dense storage of energy. Additional studies are required for commercialization but such performance is meaningful in the respect that new materials may be developed and applied to application devices for efficient generation and storage of energy.” Meanwhile, the study was conducted with the support by Senior researcher support project and Global frontier project of National Research Foundation of Korea.
