Development of highly sensitive quick autoimmunity diagnosis kit for COVID-19 with antibody immobilization Study on “improvement of sensitivity of quick autoimmunity diagnosis kit” led by Professor KIM Chang-seop of Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, etc. [January 6, 2022] <Research team of Department of Biochemistry of YU Graduate School> (From the left, Professor KIM Chang-seop and investigators KIM Kyeong-rok and LEE Ae-seol) YU research team proposed a method for quick diagnosis of COVID-19 and received attention. Excellence award of “National R&D Real Challenge” was given to the task of “highly sensitive quick autoimmunity diagnosis kit for COVID-19 with antibody immobilization” proposed by KIM Kyeong-rok (doctorate completion), LEE Ae-seol (doctorate 2nd year), and KIM Su-min (2nd year of master). The task was led by Professor KIM Chang-seop of Department of Biochemistry of YU and Chief Investigator SHIN Hwa-hee of Diagnostic Medical Device Team of Daegu Gyeongbuk Medical Innovation Foundation. YU research team proposed a method to improve low sensitivity of COVID-19 autoimmunity diagnosis kits which has been pointed out as an issue. They proposed “Quick autoimmunity diagnosis kit based on fusion protein and cellulose.” Investigator KIM Kyeong-rok explained the performance of the study saying, “Commercialized quick autoimmunity diagnosis kits have the advantages of low prices and availability for nonprofessionals but, as antibodies are immobilized on nitrocellulose membranes, the sensitivity is significantly low. In addition, if samples are not collected by accurate ways, the sensitivity decreases. Therefore, we intended to improve the sensitivity of the quick autoimmunity diagnosis kit for detection of COVID-19 by immobilizing antigen-binder of antibody so that is exposed out of cellulose membranes with use of the antibody immobilization method developed by our laboratory. Also, accurate sampling is possible because color change may be identified with use of pH-sensitive sampling cotton swab.” “NationalR&D Real Challenge Program” supported by the Ministry of Information & Communication and managed by Korea Institute of Human Resources Development in Science and Technology (KIRD)” is a program to strengthen research capability of engineering doctorate/master graduate school students. Graduate school students select “free subjects on solution of social and human pending issues and development of new technologies,” establish research plans, and perform duties.

Investigator SOHN Ji-hun from YU Cyber Emotion Research Institute (Department of Digital Fusion Business of Graduate School) Study on brand images and royalty with analysis of big data such as keywords, press releases, and SNS, etc. Excellent Thesis Award in a regular academic contest of Korean Regional Communication Research Association [December 30, 2021] “What would be the images of domestic chicken brands in big data?” Investigator SOHN Ji-hun from YU Cyber Emotion Research Institute (2nd year of master course, Department of Digital Fusion Business of Graduate School) showed an interesting result of an analysis of brand images and royalty of domestic chicken franchise companies based on big data. Investigator SOHN Ji-hun conducted a study to observe the course that chicken franchise companies founded in Daegu or Gyeongbuk areas are expanded in whole country, to arrange the specific features, and to identify the relation between brand images and royalty based on the big data in the expansion processes.He identified differences in region, gender, and age and times of press release based on keywords and press release data and identified how brand image marketing is done based on Instagram data. As the result, he found that Gyochon had more interests and press release times than Hosigi Dumari or Mexicana and that brand royalty was enhanced through communication with the public through SNS. The study was conducted by adding Instagram data to the content of “A study on Daegu Spirit and urban identity” which was jointly conducted by Professor PARK Han-woo’s Research Team of Department of Media Information of YU and Time&Space Lab, etc. The result of the study was reported as a thesis of “Big data analysis on brand identity in the process to stand and expand franchise - focused in Instagram comments on Daegu and Gyeongbuk chicken brands” and obtained Excellent Thesis Award in “2021 Busan Winter Regular Academic Congress of Korean Regional Communication Research Association.” Investigator SOHN Ji-hun commented, “It was possible to understand what influence is given to brand value generation by big data of keywords, press release, and SNS in order to help establishment of the direction of SNS marketing for brands. If the result of the study is applied to recently growing regional franchise in addition to the three brands of the study, formation of brand images and enhancement of royalty will be significantly assisted. I’d like to conduct studies on the influences of social media marketing to not only catering franchise but also entertainment industry through big data,” and showed successive study plans saying, “I’d like to study the processes to plan and expand brand images of celebrities.”
