Dr. Andreas Manz, R&D Director at KIST Europe, established KIST Europe’s Branch Lab at KIST’s main campus in Seoul on June 9, 2011, to promote collaborative research for micromachining technology using biological simulation technology.
Through this research collaboration, the artificial simulation of blood cells or bacteria that are capable of exploring the legions of the human body is expect to be applied in the drug delivery or the treatment of early lesions in the human body.
With the establishment of KIST Europe’s Branch Lab in Seoul, the combination of EU’s expertise in biotechnology and KIST’s infrastructure is expected to create a synergistic effect for cooperative research.
Meanwhile, the Brain Science Institute at KIST, KIST Europe, and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have signed an agreement for mutual cooperation.
This MOU is a result of the Korea-EU High-level Networking Meeting, which was held in Germany in October last year. The MOU is expected to promote cooperation and collaborative research in the fields of biotechnology and medicine using MEMS and nanotechnology.
