Welcome to Sungkyunkwan University's (SKKU)

Intelligent Precision Healthcare Convergence

Future medical trends have been constantly changing based on the hyper-connective, aging society and rapid enhancement in the medical welfare with the coming of the 4th industrial revolution. Modern medical technologies and services that are mainly conducted by medical institutions, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals have problems with high cost and low efficiency. In order to prepare for the 4th industrial revolution and changing medical trends, and establish a foundational service with low cost and high efficiency, we need to expand research in the fields of artificial intelligence, big data, medical devices, 3D printing, targeted treatment, and artificial living organisms.

The department of Intelligent Precision Healthcare Convergence was established in order to satisfy the needs of this changing environment. We aim to help students grow into global interdisciplinary leaders who appreciate the shared growth between education and research. Our faculty comes from various academic fields, such as biomedical enginnering, biophysics, digital health, and medical science, and have become the core of translational research in engineering/technology and medicine/clinical fields. 

We are ready to guide you into boundless future opportunities and possibilities. We look forward to your passion and active involvement in becoming leading scholars in the precision medicine field.
