Research Focus
Genomics, especially high-performance sequencing and characterization of expressed human genes, has provided new possibilities for drug discovery. We perform literature reviews and data analysis in the areas of genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, drug-protein, drug-membrane binding, and different drug delivery systems
Our Genomics and Drug Development group carries out researches in the following areas:
- DNA sequencing methods and bioinformatics
- Genetic diagnosis of disease
- Next-generation sequencing (NGS)
- Drug Development
