‘Micro Syringe,’ an original technology of Professor Bae Won-gyu of the School of Electrical Engineering, was successfully mass-produced at laboratory start-up corporation, BaeLab Co., Ltd.
The micro syringe can deliver liquid drug treatment without pain in a few seconds simply by attaching a patch on the skin. It is applied as a rear-fanged snake’s molar that distributes the venom fast enough, though the snake does not have a pressure organ. Though there is no outside force exerting some effort, the snake’s back teeth, which have fine grooves on the surface, make several holes. The poison can run along the grooves.
Professor Bae has said, “I would do my best on the research so that the technology could impact real life, rather than just remaining in the university.” He said that “this technology will not only be used in vaccination, but in proper home-care product to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, in cosmetics, it can help speed up the absorption of ingredients more effectively and deliver the best results.”
