2025 SMMI Conference Best Poster Presentation Award Winner / Woo Ho Sik (Master's Program in Department of Biopharmaceutical Chemistry, Class of 2025)
- 26.02.11 / 전윤실
On October 24, 2025, at the Suwon Convention Center, Woo Ho Sik (Master's Program, Class of 2025), a student in the Department of Biopharmaceutical Chemistry at Kookmin University, was honored to receive the “Best Poster Presentation Award” at the 2025 SMMI Conference (Society for Manufacturing Innovation in Pharmaceuticals) Academic Conference.
The Society of Medicines Manufacturing innovation, which organized this conference, is a leading academic society in the field of pharmaceutical manufacturing innovation based on domestic digital transformation. The conference, themed “Advanced next-generation pharmaceutical development amidst paradigm shifts in AI-driven innovation manufacturing and regulatory frameworks,” discussed methods to secure competitiveness and promote innovation in Korea's bio-manufacturing sector.
At this conference, Master's student Woo Ho Sik presented research results comparing and evaluating conventional wet granulation and solubilization-based wet granulation processes in Valsartan formulation development, proposing a commercialization strategy to ensure pharmaceutical equivalence. The solubilization-based process partially dissolved and dispersed valsartan in an alkaline solution containing dissolved pH adjusters Meglumine and Sodium hydroxide. This approach improved solubility and dissolution, confirming it meets pharmaceutical equivalence standards. The research was highly regarded as essential for the pharmaceutical industry, both in terms of development needs and practical application, earning it an award.
Professor Kim Joo Eun of the Department of Applied Chemistry at Kookmin University, the supervising professor, stated, “It is deeply meaningful that a student under my guidance has won a major award at the academic conference of the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Innovation Society, which represents the domestic digital manufacturing innovation field.” She added, “We will continue our diverse efforts to produce meaningful research results in the pharmaceutical and industrial pharmacy fields that contribute to enhancing public health.”
