Department Introduction
Medicine, traditionally based on the life sciences, is progressively integrating with artificial intelligence, data science, biomedical engineering, and others, moving towards the era of smart precision medicine. The Graduate School of Health Science and Technology is planning research in sync with these changes in collaboration with various departments within the College of Information and Biotechnology and, more broadly, within UNIST to create a healthier life for humanity. By utilizing networks with large domestic hospitals, medical schools, and international collaborations, we carry out educational programs and research projects that were impossible under the previous system to promote applications in health practice and industry by building an innovative environment. We envision a future where ideas from medicine, engineering, and science converge in this integrated environment via dynamic interactions between doctors who understand engineering and engineers who understand medicine, leading to new research sprouting and eventually being practical and industrialized.
