Ewha Research Teams Accelerate Development of Core Technology

Ewha research teams were recently selected for major government-supported projects, positioning themselves at the forefront of discovering new growth drivers for the future. A research consortium organized and conducted by Professor Jin-Kyu Rhee of the Department of Food Science and Biotechnology was selected for the “Development of Aquatic Cultured Meat Production Technology” project under the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, receiving approximately KRW 8.5 billion in funding from the government until 2028 to accelerate the development of aquatic cultured meat technology. Aquatic cultured meat refers to food manufactured by culturing tissues or cells derived from aquatic animals such as fish, shellfish, and crustaceans to reverse-engineer conventional fish meat, a R&D sector which has been gaining attention under the moniker of “Blue Food,” meaning sustainable seafood that aligns with nutritional, environmental, and food security values. In January this year, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries suggested research proposals for developing seaweed-based alternative meat and aquatic cultured meat technologies to lead the Blue Food technology market. Professor Jin-Kyu Rhee’s research team plans to culture cells from convict groupers, oysters, ark clams, and prawns to develop both raw and processed seafood products. The team will also establish processing guidelines for aquatic cultured meat and conduct toxicity and safety-related research. Their goal is the market release of aquatic cultured meat at a cost of 120 percent or less of the target seafoods. Successfully developing cell cultures and biomimicry technology from seafood sources is expected to provide Korea with a competitive edge in the global Blue Food technology market. Professor Youngjoo Kwon of the College of Pharmacy, Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences has been selected for the Future Pioneers of Promising Convergence Technologies project (strategic) under the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) Research program by the Ministry of Science and ICT. Over the next five years (two + three years), her research team will receive up to KRW 4.6 billion in funding. Their work will focus on developing an organoid phenocopy system, an AI-based drug response prediction model, and new targeted therapies. The Future Pioneers of Promising Convergence Technologies project supports convergence research aimed at developing mission-oriented core technologies that drive innovation and foster changes in emerging technologies and industry paradigms. The Ewha Pioneer Research Center (EPRC), led by Professor Kwon, will concentrate on colorectal cancer - a particularly challenging type of cancer due to its high metastasis rates, patient diversity, and significant spatial heterogeneity. The primary goal of EPRC is to build an organoid phenotype system to overcome refractory colorectal cancers. By employing CRISP/cas9 gene editing technology, the team will establish a system to produce and culture organoids incorporating gene mutations derived from colorectal cancer patients. This approach will enable the creation of a comprehensive pathway profiling database based on colorectal cancer genotypes. This database will be used to train deep learning models, which will facilitate the development of a drug response prediction model. Ultimately, the research aims to identify factors that contribute to drug resistance and to develop new drug candidates for targeted therapies.
