Together with the IT sector, biotechnology
has become the new growth engine that drives the
future economy beyond the scope of science. Scientific
technology, which had always pursued the convenience
of human life, now seeks the improvement of the
quality of human life. Since then, global efforts
have been exerted to solve the mystery of life and
provide solutions to various types of diseases.
|
|
|
The results obtained through such efforts
are used for alternate solutions to problems facing the
society such as famine and ecological threats; hence the
emphasis and growing recognition of molecular/cell biology
as the basis of biotechnology.
The future of Korea’s national economy lies heavily on
young and talented life scientists.
The newly established “Macrogen Young Scientist Award”
is given every year in recognition of young Korean scientists
with outstanding achievements in the field of biology.
Compared with advanced countries, our start was rather
late. As long as there are young scientists who devote
themselves to various fields, however, Korea shall not
lag behind any country in terms of the growth potential
of domestic biotechnology. As a leader in the domestic
bio industry, which assumes responsibility for the development
of Korea’s biotechnology, Macrogen wishes to encourage
our young scientists and contribute, albeit a little,
to the development of domestic life sciences through the
establishment of this award.
