Prof. Kornberg discussed cooperative measures for joint research and research collaboration in the biosciences with research teams at Konkuk and Gyeongsang National University (GNU).</p> <p align="left">This year's World Chemistry Congress, hosted by the IUPAC, where around 3,000 scholars and experts of the chemistry field convened, also invited Nobel Prize Winners Andre Geim (2010) of the University of Manchester, Yuan T. Lee (1986) of Academia Sinica, and Akira Suzuki (2010) of Hokkaido University as plenary speakers.</p> <p align="left">Founded in 1919, the IUPAC is the world's largest academic society with 61 member countries and about 300,000 affiliated members. It was the first time for the World Chemistry Congress to be held in Korea and the second time to be hosted in Asia since the one held in China.</p> <p align="left">Prior to attending the World Chemistry Congress, Prof. Kornberg visited GNU in Jinju-si to give a special lecture on his life and endeavors until the conferment of the Nobel Prize for high school and university students, while he discussed research cooperation with GNU Systems & Synthetic Agrobiotech Center.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="word-break: keep-all; text-align: left; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.75pt; line-height: 172%; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;" align="left"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="word-break: keep-all; text-align: center; margin: 0cm 0cm 12.75pt; line-height: 172%; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-pagination: widow-orphan;" align="left"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: 굴림; color: #505050; line-height: 172%; mso-bidi-font-family: 굴림; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;" lang="EN-US"><img src="ArticleFile.do?id=11634246" /></span></p> <p> </p> <p>During his visit to Korea, Prof. Kornberg also met with the KU Global Lab headed by Prof. Lin-Woo Kang (Division of Biological Sciences, KU College of Bioscience & Biotechnology), his joint research team at Konkuk.
