Research Affairs

Introduction

The SNUH Research Affairs takes challenges identified by patients and in clinical practice as the starting point for research, supporting the entire research process so that new medical discoveries can lead to better diagnosis and treatment. Centered on the Biomedical Research Institute, the Institute of Convergence Medicine with Innovaitve Technology, and the Healthcare AI Research Institute, it organically connects basic and translational research, clinical research, convergence medicine, and healthcare AI research. Through an integrated research support system spanning research planning and management, research ethics, technology licensing, and domestic and international collaboration, the Division promotes the clinical application and implementation of research outcomes, leads the future of medicine, and contributes to improved public health.

Organization

An organization chart representing a four-tier hierarchy with the Research Division at the top, the three main institutions - the Biomedical Research Institute, the Institute of Convergence Medicine and Technology, and the Healthcare AI Research Institute - and affiliated institutions and departments such as the Research Planning and Management Office, the Medical Research Collaboration Center, and the Center for Human Research Protection. Clicking each node opens a modal with the department's phone number and a link to its page.
