The presentation will highlight recently demonstration of the anticipated benefits of the upconverted hot electrons in several photocatalytic reduction and redox-neutral reactions. Development of new material platform for more efficient hot electron upconversion and the prospects of expanding the application of the energetic hot electrons in beyond photocatalysis will be discussed.

On the 17th of December, 2021, the secretary of Ministry of Science and ICT(MSIT) visited IBS CNM.

In this talk, we discuss the recent progress in the design and fabrication, modeling and simulation, and actuation and control of magnetic soft materials and robots. We discuss the continuum mechanical framework for hard-magnetic soft materials and design guidelines for optimal performance of magnetic soft actuators. We then discuss the potential of magnetic soft robots for biomedical applications, focusing on our example of magnetic soft continuum robots towards telerobotic neurointervention for treating stroke and aneurysms.

In this seminar, magnetically actuated small scale magnetic robots will be presented. The magnetic actuation has advantages over conventional robotic actuation methods based on linkages, because of directly and remotely addressable magnetic forces and torques. In medical robotics, such favorable properties can minimize the invasiveness of diagnostic and surgical procedures. In this talk, this will be shown in two applications: magnetically actuated soft capsule endoscopes and magnetically actuated milli-scale robots for neural navigation. By applying the magnetic principles to the robotics methods, such as design, localization, calibration and control methods, the magnetically actuated robots are designed, fabricated, and controlled at our command. This talk will focus on the use of magnetics into robotic systems, dealing with interesting properties of magnetic actuation, and showing how this technology can be seamlessly combined with the current medical technologies.

Science Factory@Yonsei Season VI will be held on Monday, 5th, January 2022. The application will begin next Monday. Feel free to send your application!

IBS Conference on Nanomachines for Biotechnology and Medicine was held at The Plaza and Yonsei University between two days 8-9th November 2021.

In this lecture, I will review immune responses against SARS-CoV-2 and VOCs. In particular, I will focus on SARS-CoV-2-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses that have been detected and characterized among not only COVID-19 patients and convalescents but also unexposed individuals. I will lecture on phenotypes and functions of SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells in COVID-19 patients and the relationships between SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell responses and the severity of COVID-19. In addition, I will lecture on phenotypes and functions of SARS-CoV-2-specific memory T cells after recovery from COVID-19. I will also discuss the presence of SARS-CoV-2-reactive T cells in unexposed individuals and SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell responses elicited by COVID-19 vaccination.

11월 8일 월요일부터 이틀 간, IBS 콘퍼런스가 개최된다. "IBS 생명공학과 의학을 위한 나노머신 콘퍼런스"라는 주제를 바탕으로, 이번 콘퍼런스는 IBS 나노의학 연구단과 연세대학교 주관으로 개최된다. 세계적인 연사들이 온라인과 오프라인으로 강연을 진행하며, 추후 연구 워크샵을 진행할 예정이다.

On the 10th of August, 2021, Helen Lee, the dean of UIC, and HyeonJae Kim, the deputy dean of UIC Education visited IBS CNM.
