In response to 바카라사이트 laboratory's development goals and major research areas, 바카라사이트 laboratory currently consists of 14 research laboratories and research centers:

  • Laboratory for Quality Assessment and Control of Chinese Medicines,
  • Laboratory for Bioorganic and Chinese Materia Medica Chemistry,
  • Laboratory for Bioassay and Molecular Pharmacology of Chinese Medicines,?
  • Laboratory for New Formulation Technology of Chinese Medicinal Preparations,?
  • Center for Omics Technology and Innovative Drug Research,?
  • Macau Center for MS and NMR Analysis,?
  • Center for Safety and Quality Assurance of Chinese Medicines and Foods,?
  • Center for Quality and Safety Information of Chinese Medicines.?

“Dr. Neher’s Biophysics Laboratory for Chinese Medicine” a Nobel laureate workstation has also been established.

The laboratory has made some important scientific discoveries in 바카라사이트 above-mentioned key areas, including:

  • discovering a series of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients with novel structure and significant treatment efficacy;
  • discovering 바카라사이트 new activity and mechanism of various Chinese herbal ingredients;
  • establishing a research platform based on innovative omics technology (proteomics, lipidomics, glycomics) to systematically reveal 바카라사이트 target network of traditional Chinese medicine;
  • discovering new anti-tumor drug resistance mechanism, a new anti-inflammatory target and a new oncogene;
  • established a quality evaluation method based on multivariate analysis techniques, a more comprehensive and effective assessment of au바카라사이트nticity and quality of herbal medicines.

Related research results have been published in mainstream academic journals such as Science, Nature, Nature Methods, Annals of Rheumatic Diseases, Analytical Chemistry, Organic Letters, Cell Death and Disease etc.
