The pathogenesis and clinical evidence are presented using human blood, synovial fluid, and tissues of patients with rheumatic diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, lupus, etc.) characterized by inflammation of the joints and surrounding muscles. Furthermore, using human-derived materials and animal models to understand the pathophysiological process of diseases, and to pursue disease-centered translational research. Through this, we aim to develop biomarkers applicable to clinical rheumatic diseases, present subtypes for each disease using mmunological understanding, and develop new treatments.

The urinary system includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, and the male reproductive system includes the testes, epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, and external genital organs. Also, the prostate, which is not present in women, is an organ handled by the urology department. The Department of Urology is edicated to the overall diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the above diseases of the genitourinary system.

Obstetrics and Gynecology fosters holistic medical professionals by acquiring professional knowledge about women's pregnancy, childbirth, and gynecology, as well as cultivating morality and ethics. It deals with all diseases related to pregnancy, childbirth, and the female reproductive system, and requires professionalism and high ethics due to the nature of the department. Acquire knowledge about the normal, anatomy, tissue, and physiology of obstetrics and gynecology, and further develop the ability to diagnose and treat pathological anatomy and physiology. With the continuous reinforcement of the faculty and the production of medical school graduates, as well as the professors' ceaseless treatment and research results, it is growing into an obstetrics and gynecology department recognized internationally as well as at the highest level in Korea in the fields of perinatal, reproductive endocrinology, and gynecological oncology.

Based on the constantly changing growth and development and pathophysiological characteristics from newborns to adolescence, various fields such as respiratory allergy, nervous system, and neonatology are explored. With the goal of overcoming intractable diseases in children and adolescents and allowing their potential developmental abilities to be fully demonstrated, early diagnosis biomarkers and AI-based diagnosis/ development of treatment, etc.

Among digestive diseases, liver disease (non-alcoholic fatty liver, cirrhosis, liver cirrhosis, liver cancer), metabolic disease-related research, and drug development research related to liver disease and metabolic disease. Conducted research on digestive diseases using big data.

As a clinical medicine that deals with diseases of the nervous system, neurology deals with all nervous systems and related parts of the body including the brain, spinal cord and nerve roots, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junctions, and the neuromuscular nervous system. Typical diseases include stroke (mostly cerebral infarction), dementia, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, headache, and dizziness. It is a discipline that requires continuous research for diagnosis.

From the understanding of hemodynamics, the most basic of life maintenance, and biosignal analysis, to understanding chronic diseases such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, valvular disease, and heart failure, It is essential for research in various fields, from regenerative research to the development of biomedical devices such as stents, pacemakers, and artificial valves, and the development of life signal monitoring technology.

Ophthalmology is based on the promotion of public eye health and improvement of quality of life through this. The detailed fields include retina, anterior segment, glaucoma, pediatric strabismus and neuroophthalmology, and plastic ophthalmology, providing systematic and specialized patient care. Not only the 7 full-time faculty members, but also the clinical teachers and clinical instructors of both hospitals are active in treatment and research.

To study new mechanisms that can explain the occurrence of neurological diseases, respiratory failure, hypersensitivity inflammation, and chronic inflammation in the upper respiratory tract such as olfactory disorder, sleep disturbance (sleep apnea), allergic rhinitis, and sinusitis. It aims to develop new diagnostic methods (devices), and furthermore, to discover new drug candidates necessary for disease treatment.

It studies the mechanism of reaction in the body of patients with poisoning, shock and cardiac arrest, provides evidence for effective resuscitation and various integrated treatments, and furthermore suggests new treatment methods. New diagnosis and treatment that can be applied to critically ill patients are being studied through translational research that connects basic and clinical trials. In addition, we are developing a iagnosis/treatment decision support system and equipment through artificial intelligence in the examination and treatment of critically ill patients.

Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery performs many of the existingupper gastrointestinal surgeries as minimally invasive surgery, and also performs high-obesity metabolic surgery. Vascular Surgery is implementing treatments in line with recent trends through intervention cooperation with the Department of Radiology and the opening of a hybrid operating room. Transplant surgery is expanding its surgical and research areas with the recent success of liver transplantation. In addition to liver transplantation, hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery has recently been actively conducting basic research through animal experiments and various cooperative studies with external institutions. In the palliative treatment of various lower gastrointestinal diseases, colorectal and anal surgery has introduced minimally invasive surgery and the latest anti-cancer radiation therapy and applied them to clinical practice. Clinical research is being carried out through The Department of Breast and Endocrinology conducts research on the relationship between breast cancer and obesity, research using gene analysis in rapidly progressing breast cancer, and clinical research on quality of life after treatment. In addition, clinical research using 4D measurement technique for neck discomfort and dysphagia after surgery for thyroid cancer is being conducted. Accordingly, the Department of Surgical Sciences acquires the latest research methods based on broad and in-depth medical knowledge, identifies the causes of surgical diseases, and applies new prevention, diagnosis and treatment techniques to clinical practice.

As a study on diseases and trauma of the musculoskeletal and joint, physical changes during human exercise, material engineering for artificial joint development, muscle, ligament, and tendon replacement material development, and articular cartilage regeneration using stem cells are studied. Analyzing the causes of diseases and treatment effects using medical big data and artificial intelligence technology.

The Department of Laboratory Medicine conducts appropriate tests and diagnoses on various specimens derived from the human body. In the field of diagnostic hematology and transfusion medicine, we research and develop hematopoietic stem cells, hematopoietic processes, and blood production.

Conducted research on overcoming diseases and improving health in the dental and oral and maxillofacial areas. The goal is to study tissue regeneration in the oral and maxillofacial area using stem cells, to develop an oral health-related diagnostic biomarker and sensor-based oral health monitoring device, and to develop an artificial intelligence-based automatic diagnosis device for oral diseases.

Dermatology is a study that deals with diseases that appear in the skin and mucous membranes surrounding the body, nails, and hair appendages. Representative skin diseases include atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, vitiligo, contact dermatitis, allergic diseases, hair diseases, nail diseases, and skin tumors. etc. More precise skin examination is performed through dermoscopy, etc. In particular, multi-national academic activities and research are actively conducted in the fields of psoriasis, vitiligo, and atopic dermatitis. In addition, research and development of the latest diagnostic/ therapeutic equipment, including the latest laser devices, continues

Conducting academic activities to reveal each niche at the individual level by comprehensively analyzing the functions and interactions of various molecules and cells constituting the immune system. Based on this, we develop the ability to understand the principles of life phenomena such as infection immunity, autoimmunity, transplant immunity, and allergy and apply them to the maintenance of immune homeostasis in the human body.
