Ongoing Projects:
Developing the diabetic kidney disease (DKD) disease map under the collaboration of the Disease Map Consortium (DMC)
Main objective: It is an international collaboration in order to construct the holistic molecular map of DKD based on the standard workflow developed by DMC to make a large-scale dynamic map. Next, This dynamic map can be used as a basis for drug repositioning and drug target identification.
Exploring the molecular mechanisms of cell polyploidy
Main objective: We believe that polyploid cells are the key drivers of tissue regeneration and cancer progression. Developing drugs that target cell polyploidy is of great importance in both fields.
