Professor, Dept. Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Korea Environmental Microorganisms Bank
Dr. Lee Sang-seob taught and researched at Kyonggi University for over 30 years. After retiring in 2021, he moved to Sungkyunkwan University and continues to conduct research and technology development. During his tenure at Kyonggi University, he established an environmental microbial resource and gene bank in 2000. In 2005, it was selected as a national environmental microbial resource and gene bank and operated with government support for 18 years. Afterwards, it was selected as a key investment research resources bank and operated for 5 years. For 9 years since 2009, he served as the head of the Microbial Core Center, which supports and manages the Korea Microbial Resource Bank. From 2022, it has been selected and operated as the White Bio core bank for Korea's national bioresources advancement project. His research and development field includes serving as the head of university and national research and business groups, developing technologies in various fields using microbial materials, and registering many patents and new technologies. Some of these technologies have obtained patents in the United States, Canada, China, Singapore, and Vietnam, and are pursuing technology transfer and commercialization overseas. In addition, the marine environment purification system in 2018 and the water treatment structure repair method based on bacterial growth in 2021 were selected as excellent national research and development achievements. In 2021, the repair method was also selected as the best technology in the convergence field. Using the marine purification system selected as a national excellent technology in 2021, a closed recirculation filtration system for marine fish farms using microorganisms was developed for the first time domestically and internationally in 2023, making it possible to farm marine fish even in inland regions or cities. This technology not only alleviates the food shortage, but also ensures the safety of marine products, including radioactive substances and microplastics. Currently, Dr. Lee serves as a scientific advisor and collaborator for IMNEWRUN to develop next-generation treatment modalities.
