Biotechnology Development Collaboration System and Limitations of Domestic Physician Scientists

The purpose of the domestic physician scientist support program is to promote the development of various biotechnology. Therefore, it can be said that examining whether the purpose of support is being faithfully implemented has an important meaning for the future domestic biotechnology development ecosystem. Therefore, this study limited the subject of analysis to 79 MD-PhD experts who participated or participated in doctor scientist programs at major universities in Korea. Among them, a total of 25 researchers, one researcher from each classroom in parasitology, microbiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, physiology, and anatomy, which had the highest paper citations in the last five years (2016-2021), were selected to examine the relationship between joint research. It was selected as the subject of review. As a result, 25 selected pseudo-scientists(MD-PhD) identified domestic and foreign researchers who participated as co-researchers when publishing in overseas academic journals for the last 5 years(2016-2021), and identified the affiliation and name of the top 5 among them, as well as the pseudo-scientist(MD-PhD), it was possible to identify the relationship of a total of 123 co-researchers(excluding 2 missing values) of the top 5 co-researchers with a high degree of cooperation with respect to the researcher(25 in total), and the collaboration of pseudo-scientists. Relationships, major researchers, and research institutes were examined. Nodexl Basic 2018 ver. (Microsof) was used for the analysis, and the relationship between researchers could be visualized by applying network analysis techniques.
