Konkuk University’s LINC+, Leaders in Industry-University Cooperation, promotes producing creative items through operating College of Healing Bio Science Consortium. The College of Healing Bio Science Consortium is part of Konkuk University’s LINC+ Business curriculum that imparts knowledge to students by sharing educational competency between Seoul Campus and Glocal Campus. This curriculum was carried out from first semester of this year for the first time, and 13courses at Seoul Campus and 7courses at Glocal Campus were offered. Insects scarf ‘Wanna Scarf’ made by Wanna Pet team for pets
The Animal Resources Comprehensive Design course of 2018 spring semester, taught by Professor Kim Bub-Kyun, the team called ‘Wanna Pet’ (Young-lan Lee, Su-ye Kim, Da-som Baek, Division of Food BioScience, 4th year) showed ‘Wanna Scarf: scarf to fight off mosquito and mite for pets’. Wanna Pet team made safe anti-insect which does not affect any harm influence to pets’ olfactory sense by compensating the existing anti-insect items’ defects which had restrictions of use such as side effects or stench.
Wanna Pet Team is belonged to Glocal Campus, but they performed this project by taking courses in Seoul via College of Healing Bio Science Consortium. As a result, they have participated in ‘MIDAS Business Star-up competition’ and ‘The 2nd Korean Peninsula Agricultural Forum Contest’, and currently they are making good accomplishment by selling the scarf through Cloud Funding and Naver’s Smart Store.

 Hydrogel as a drug transporter, experimented by the ‘One step, Two step’ team
Also, at the course ‘Comprehensive Design of Stem-cell Research’, the ‘One step, Two step’ team (Ui-yeopl Park, Kyung-rim Lee, Da-wit Oh, Department of Biomedial Chemistry, 3rd year) showed ‘Swelling change of Hydrogel by ph control’ item.
The ‘One step, Two step’ team studied the possibility of hydrogel as drug transporter in the same environment as stomach and small intestine where have different ph, by examining the swelling and contraction of the hydrogel in such environment.
As a result, hydrogel, as a drug transporter, not only helps drug to make an effect intact passing digestive organ, but also has various possibility of being used for stem-cell treatment.
The ‘One step, Two step’ team got various accomplishments with this project which are winning the Grand Prize in the field of sincerity from ‘Core Competition Practical Case Essay Contest’ and winning the Participation Prize from ‘KU:GLE Learning Method Contest Program’. In the future, the ‘One step, Two step’ team will repeat the experiment to establish the possibility of hydrogel as a drug transporter and challenge various business start-up competitions to grow further. The College of Healing Bio Science Consortium will have 14 courses at Seoul Campus and 15 courses at Glocal Campus this fall semester. If students who minor in the College of Healing Bio Science Consortium take 24 credits of major and minor credits together, they can grant degree written down with two majors. <img style="margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto;" alt="" src="ArticleFile.do?id=11741342" width="505" height="228" />
