국립부경대학교(총장 장영수) 4차산업융합바이오닉스공학과 김세창 씨(박사과정 1년)가 제17회 한국해양바이오학회(회장 전유진) 정기학술대회에서 구두발표상을 수상했다.

김 연구원은 최근 온·오프라인 방식으로 열린 이번 학술대회에서 ‘피코시아닌을 함유한 폴리락틱산, 알지네이트, 어류콜라겐 기반의 섬유막 제작과 이를 활용한 골 조직 재생 효능’ 연구를 발표해 우수한 평가를 받았다.

김 연구원은 한국연구재단 이공분야 대학중점연구소 지원사업(연구책임자 정원교 교수)의 지원을 받아 진행된 이번 연구에서 골 조직 결손 발생 후 골 조직 재생 촉진을 위해 해양유래 생리활성물질인 피코시아닌과 어류콜라겐을 활용, 골 조직 재생용 섬유막을 제작하고 이 섬유막의 골 재생 효능을 제시했다.

그는 골 조직 내 염증반응 억제 및 골세포 분화 촉진 약물로서 피코시아닌을 폴리락틱산, 알지네이트, 어류콜라겐 기반의 섬유막에 탑재해 골 조직 재생용 의료기기를 제작했다.

이를 활용해 전조골세포 및 골 결손 동물모델 내 효능을 확인한 결과, 피코시아닌을 함유한 섬유막이 전조골세포의 분화를 촉진하고, 동물모델 내 골 재생을 촉진하는 것으로 나타났다.

한편 한국해양바이오학회는 2005년 창립돼 해양생명공학 전 분야의 학문의 발전 및 응용에 관한 연구의 촉진과 학술문화의 발전에 이바지하기 위한 활동을 펼치고 있다. <부경투데이>

Kim Se-Chang, a researcher from PKNU, received the participation prize from the Korean Society of Marine Biotechnology

- for research on the production of fibrous coat for bone tissue regeneration

Kim Se-Chang (1st year, doctoral course) from the Department of 4th Industrial Convergence Bionics Engineering, Graduate School, Pukyong National University (President Jang Young-Soo), won the Verbal Presentation Award at the 17th regular conference of the Korean Society of Marine Biotechnology (KSMB, President Jeon Yu-Jin).

Kim received good reviews for his research on 'Production of fibrous coat based on poly lactic acid, alginate, and fish collagen containing phycocyanin and bone tissue regeneration efficacy using them' at the recent online and offline academic conference.

He conducted this research with the support of the National Research Foundation of Korea's (NRF) science and engineering support project of the Key Research Institutes for universities (Research directed by Prof. Jeong Won-Kyo), he produced a fibrous membrane for bone tissue regeneration using phycocyanin and fish collagen, which are physiologically active substances derived from marine to promote bone tissue regeneration after a bone tissue defect, and he has suggested the bone regeneration efficacy of this fibrous coat through this research.

He developed a medical device for bone tissue regeneration by putting phycocyanin into poly lactic acid, alginate, and collagen-based fibrous coat which was extracted from fish as a drug that suppresses inflammatory response in bone tissue and promotes bone tissue differentiation.

Using this, he proved the efficacy in an animal model with progenitor osteocytes and bone defects, and the results showed that the fibrous coat containing phycocyanin promotes the differentiation of progenitor osteoblasts and promotes bone regeneration in animal experimental models.

Founded in 2005, the Korean Society for Marine Biotechnology is carrying out activities to promote research on the development and application of science in all fields related to marine biotechnology and to contribute to the development of academic culture. <Pukyong Today>
