After nearly a year of rigorous review and the full participation of more than 40 top scientific and technological leaders around the world, the 2021 list of the MIT Technology Review Innovators Under 35 Asia Pacific was released recently, which included Dr. LEE Hyeon Jeong from College of Biomedical Engineering & Instrument Science.
She developed a series of novel molecular vibrational spectroscopic imaging techniques to acquire biomolecular information in situ, tackling the challenges of label-free imaging for life sciences by achieving subcellular level functional imaging.
This innovation in imaging technology inspired other research groups to carry out follow-up research. It is considered as a pioneering research and one of the representative examples of new imaging methods.
Since 1999, Innovators under 35 have annually selected innovation leaders who have a far-reaching impact on future scientific and Technological Development from cutting-edge science, emerging technologies and innovative applications all over the world, covering but not limited to emerging technology fields such as biotechnology, energy materials, artificial intelligence, information technology and intelligent manufacturing. In 2010, Innovators under 35 was selected regionally for the first time, becoming an important yardstick for scientific and technological youth groups in many countries and regions such as Asia Pacific, Europe and Latin America.
