Hello, We are KUAS_Korea team from Korea University! :)
Korea_U_Seoul is Korea University iGEM Team since we started participating in iGEM in 2009. Korea_U_Seoul has achieved various awards from 2010 to 2015. In Korea, Korea_U_Seoul is known as KUAS (Korea Univ. Association of Synthetic biology).

Uijin Han
Student Leader
Uijin (Hannah) is this year's student leader of KUAS_Korea! This is her second year as an iGEMer, and she is committed to the management of whole teams and projects of this group. Her primary interest lies in the communication of science and society, and the role of scientists as major actors of the international society. She is very excited to present this year's project, and hopes that their work can make a small step ahead towards a better world!
Junhee Kim
Wet-lab Leader
Hi, I take charge of our wet-lab experiment. Also, I manage our team's Facebook page. I am interested in the latest biotechnology and gene therapy. This is my third participation in iGEM. Doing wet-lab experiment makes me tired, but I still learn a lot from it. Enjoy iGEM & Giant Jamboree, fellas!
Euijong Kim
Human Practice Leader
My name is Kim Eui Jong, and I’m in charge of the human practice team. As being a sophomore, I often realize that there are still plenty of things for me to learn. But still, I will try best to work on the KUAS iGem team. I actually take a profound interest in microorganisms, especially pathogenic ones. Hope to see you soon in the Giant Jamboree.
BoSun Ryu
Division of Environmental science and ecological engineering
Bosun Ryu is a junior majoring in environmental science and ecological engineering. It is his first year to attend iGEM, so he is excited to be part of the team. Arsenal is his favorite football club, but this does not mean that KUAS iGEM team is going to win the fourth place. (We always go for the trophies.) He is interested in using biological engineering and synthetic biology to develop new therapeutic and diagnostic tools for use in hospitals and in the field. He wants to remind you that his favorite number is not "4".
DongHwan Park
Division of Life Science
I've been involved in human practice part, mainly participating with outreach and public engagement. I’m responsible for financial management, including sponsership. I've also been part of ethics activity, carrying out interviews and conducting seminas. For last, I contributed for the team’s brochure and presentation design.
EunSan Ko
Division of Life Science
Hello, my name is Eun San Ko. Last year, I began prepping for iGEM international competition in hopes of broadening my scope and perspectives on Biology. During the first journey, I participated in various experiments and assisted in producing a software. Now on my second year, I am in charge of advertising and fundraising for the competition. Although I started out barely knowing anything about Synthetic Biology and Biofuel Battery, I was able to grow my expertise on those fields through my experience with IGEM. Not only was I able to gain academic knowledge from the experience, but also, I was able to build bonds with numbers of people who have helped me through the competition. I would forever cherish my relationships with KUAS teammates, guidance professors, and other supporters. I truly believe it was for their support and care that I was able to overcome all the hardships that I encountered during the competition. All in all, IGEM gifted me with both the chances to broaden my knowledge in Biology and build invaluable bonds with some of the greatest people I have met in my life. Surely, participating in IGEM has marked a whole new chapter in my life as a college student.
SoHyun Jang
Division of Life Science
I’ve been mainly working on public engagement and outreach. I think these are very meaningful activity that let the public to know about synthetic biology, because I was one of the people who don’t even heard of synthetic biology. As one of the member of iGEM team, Korea_U_Seoul, it is great experience for me to open the new world-synthetic biology- and meet good members of our team.
JunHee Kim
Division of Biotechnology
Hi, my name is Junhee Kim. I am a sophomore in Korea University, and I take charge of making MFC and building EMFC device in Korea_U_Seoul. I love marvelous microorganisms. Hope to see you soon!
