The initiative was launched by Yong-Sun Kim, President of Hallym University Medical Center and Professor of Health and Biomedical Sciences at Hallym University, together with Kjell Öberg, Professor Emeritus of Endocrine Oncology at Uppsala University.
The collaboration has led to ongoing scientific exchanges and is regarded as highly significant by the government of the Republic of Korea.
