Professor Jung Won-kyu of Radiological Oncology Department at Gangdong Kyunghee University Hospital (Director Lee Woo-in) recently received a commendation from the Minister of Health and Welfare at the '2024 Health Industry Promotion Health and Medical Technology Commercialization Award'.
This award is given to those who have contributed to the development of the health industry through activities to develop technologies in the health care field, transfer or trade them to other institutions or companies, or support new technology-based startups.
Professor Jung Won-gyu has been conducting various clinical research and technology development related to low-dose radiation therapy for early dementia patients. Through this, he started ReadyCure, a dementia radiation technology developer, and focused on technology development, contributing to the promotion of the health industry and public health promotion.
