Project Performance Examples

Humanized-PROX1 neutralizing antibody production

Professor Jinwoo Kim

Startup technology and prototype characteristics

We aim to verify the efficacy of ‘PROX1 neutralizing antibody”’as a therapeutic agent to induce retinal nerve cell regeneration in the mammalian retina and secure the optimal neutralizing antibody for retinal regeneration that can actually be used for treatment in humans. It is known that mammals do not regenerate degenerated nerve cells unlike lower animals (reptiles, fish, and birds).

Anti-glare treatment prototype for automobile display

Professor Jaeseok Yang

Startup technology and prototype characteristics

It is a core technology that can replace the existing A/R coating method that can be applied to various displays in vehicles that are currently expanding and becoming larger.
This is a technology that enables permanent anti-glare treatment using an abrasive (Al2O3) instead of anti-glare treatment, which was previously done using hydrofluoric acid or wet coating
The verification of the technology and sample production were successful, and samples with anti-glare treatment on large center fascia glass for vehicles must be provided to customers for accurate technical and business feasibility evaluations, so there is a great need to produce this prototype.
