Sunghoon showcased his research project titled "Miniature Syringe-Injectable Wireless Light Source for Photodynamic Therapy with Rose Bengal" at the Optica Biophotonics Congress this year. The presentation delved into the creation of a wirelessly powered implantable tool emitting 573 nm visible light, designed for deep tissue photodynamic therapy. This innovative device has demonstrated the ability to produce ample singlet oxygen, effectively targeting and eradicating cancer cells within specific regions. Its potential as an alternative to comprehensive radiation or chemotherapy treatments is considerable.
Sunghoon's mother journeyed from South Korea to Florida to offer support during his presentation and share the experience of witnessing a solar eclipse together. This moment was captured in the image you see here, symbolizing the support and connection shared between Sunghoon and his mother.
