Selected for the National Research Foundation of Korea’s Research Incentive Grant Program for Doctoral Students in Science and Engineering / Park Si-yeon (Ph.D. candidate, Department of Food and Nutrition, Graduate School, Class of ’25)
- 26.09.21 / 홍유민
Recently, Park Si-yeon, a Ph.D. student in the Food Biotechnology track of the Department of Food and Nutrition at our university’s Graduate School (Food Bio-Convergence Research Lab, Advisor: Professor Chang Yoonjee), was selected for the 2026 Research Incentive Grant Program for Ph.D. Students in Science and Engineering, a program jointly sponsored by the Ministry of Education and the National Research Foundation of Korea.
The Research Incentive Grant Program for Doctoral Students in Science and Engineering is a flagship research support initiative designed to strengthen doctoral students’ research capabilities and enable them to conduct research proactively and independently based on creative and innovative ideas.
The title of the research project is “Investigation of Food Microbiome Changes and Virulence Attenuation in Phage-Resistant Bacteria for Developing a Phage-Based Food Safety Control System,” and will be conducted for one year from September 1, 2026, to August 31, 2027.
This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the potential of bacteriophages in food applications—going beyond mere sterilization efficiency—by assessing their effectiveness in controlling target pathogens, changes in the microbial ecosystem within food, and shifts in virulence resulting from the acquisition of phage resistance. It is expected that this research will provide a scientific basis for evaluating the effectiveness and safety of future bacteriophage-based food safety control technologies.
