J&J PharmaTech, a LINC Project group of Ajou University, visited the COVID-19 clinic at Ajou University Hospital to deliver snacks, drinks, and 3,000 personal hand sanitizers to the staff. J&J PharmaTech is a startup run by Jeong Hye-jeong, currently enrolled as a student in the Graduate School of Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmaceutics.
 
The Graduate School revealed that Jeong, along with the school’s dean, Kim Su-dong, and other school officials visited Ajou University Hospital on May 7 to thank the medical staff and deliver donations in person. They were welcomed by the hospital’s president, Dr. Han Sang-uk, and other medical workers on site.
 
Neo Trans, the company operating the Sinbundang Line on the metropolitan transit network across Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, also joined in with delivery of the donations.
 
Jeong explained: “As a LINC Project group of Ajou University’s bio and healthcare industrial cooperation center (ICC), we wanted to do something for the medical staff at the university hospital working on the front line in the current COVID-19 crisis, and thought bringing 3,000 sanitizers was the way to do it.”
 
The ICCs at Ajou University were established with the mission of promoting the University’s research strengths in partnership with local businesses. Faculty members and local firms participate in R&D projects in biotechnology and healthcare, smart mobility, new and renewable energy, artificial intelligence (AI) and big data. Ajou continues to aid local businesses through a wide range of support, including R&D infrastructure, advice, and personnel training.
