fund
Epapyrus, a solution company for e-documents that was created by a KAIST graduate, donated USD 106,000 worth of paperless software to KAIST on October 20, 2015.
President Steve Kang of KAIST presented a plaque of appreciation to President Jung-Hee Kim of Epapyrus to recognize his donation.
To the Class of 2003 in computer science, President Kim said,
“KAIST has always been supportive of me. Even when I neglected my study to focus on the start-up of my company during college, the university encouraged me to pursue my dream. I was thrilled when I learned that KAIST was looking for an e-paper solution package because I knew I could return what I had received to my alma mater.”
President Kang replied,
“President Kim is indeed one of our proud alumni. He created a company based on an innovative idea, and we are pleased to see his company grow steadily. Certainly, we would not have accomplished all the great things without the generous support of our strong alumni.”

research KAIST Develops AI That Automatically Designs Optimal Drug Candidates for Cancer-Targeting Mutations
< (From left) Ph.D candidate Wonho Zhung, Ph.D cadidate Joongwon Lee , Prof. Woo Young Kim , Ph.D candidate Jisu Seo > Traditional drug development methods involve identifying a target protin (e.g., a cancer cell receptor) that causes disease, and then searching through countless molecular candidates (potential drugs) that could bind to that protein and block its function. This process is costly, time-consuming, and has a low success rate. KAIST researchers have developed an AI model th

research KAIST Develops Bioelectrosynthesis Platform for Switch-Like Precision Control of Cell Signaling
<(From left)Professor Jimin Park, Ph.D candidate Myeongeun Lee, Ph.D cadidate Jaewoong Lee,Professor Jihan Kim> Cells use various signaling molecules to regulate the nervous, immune, and vascular systems. Among these, nitric oxide (NO) and ammonia (NH₃) play important roles, but their chemical instability and gaseous nature make them difficult to generate or control externally. A KAIST research team has developed a platform that generates specific signaling molecules in situ from a si
