주요연구분야
1. DNA and RNA measurement standards
Accurate nucleic acid quantification is essential for the development of molecular diagnoses and therapeutic research. Our laboratory focuses on the developing accurate measurement methods to achieve absolute quantification of specific nucleic acid targets. By using these methods, we develop reference materials and certified reference materials related to molecular testing.
- Quantitative gene measurement (digital PCR, real-time PCR, LC-MS, imaging-based counting)
- Qualitative characterization (high-throughput sequencing, size distribution)
- Molecular diagnosis (cancer biomarkers, pathogen gene detection)
2. Biopharmaceuticals measurements
We also apply our methods to ensure accurate analysis and measurement for biopharmaceuticals such as gene and cell therapy products.
3. DNA fragmentation as an indicative for cytotoxicity
Regulated cell death plays an essential role in various biological processes, leading to the development of a number of methods to detect and quantitatively measure cells exhibiting decreased viability due to either apoptosis or necrosis. When cytotoxicity is induced, human cell lines exhibit specific features, including dampened cell proliferation and lost plasma membrane asymmetry, presenting distinct sensitivity. Our team is developing a set of novel digital PCR (dPCR) assays to quantitatively measure the degree of cytotoxicity.
