It was hardly expected that Korea would become one of major IT advanced countries within only a few decades. Korea now is focusing on becoming one of leading countries in Biotechnology sector, considerably one of major economy growth engines of the country along with IT sector.
As core of a late running Asian country in Biotechnology industry, Korean scientists had to persevere in their efforts to catch up with technology level of advanced countries while striving through insufficient facilities and supports. Among these efforts, especially women scientists' achievements shine brilliantly thanks to their firm convictions on an errand of prosperity of Korean Biotechnology. Korean Biotechnology industry attributes its recent dramatic advances to these devoted scientists and systematic support programs of organizations such as 'Korean Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology'.

Our newly presented 'Macrogen Woman Scientist Award' is an award to recognize and fully support women scientists' endless passion and endeavor that have resulted in huge contribution to enhancement of overall Korean Biotechnology industry.
