The Research Center for Bioactive Materials was founded in 1999 to promote research and education in the field of new pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The collaboration between individual research team is so critical that the center is composed of three teams. The first team is involved in the generation of biologically active materials either by synthesis or by extractive work from the natural sources. The other two teams are devoted to the various screening efforts for the materials generated by the first team.
The center is involved in the international collaboration with Quest Pharmatech company in Edmonton, Canada for the development of new anticancer agents. In addition to the research activities, it is also operating an inter-departmental graduate program for the students who seek higher degrees. Due to our active research activities, the center was selected as an important central research center and consequently got financial support for 5 years by Korea Research Foundation sponsored by Korean government.
