Integrated
researches at the molecular, cellular
and organismal levels will help
us to understand the complexity
of life phenomena. Atotal of 22
professors are participating in
various areas of molecular medicine,
including Signal Transduction
& Cancer, Virus & Immunology,
Protein Engineering & Structure,
and Medicinal Chemistry &
Drug Delivery. By integrating
the new discoveries and cutting-edge
technologies that have so far
accumulated in these fields with
structural genomics, proteomics,
genomics, drug delivery systems
and DNA vaccine technologies,
and
with molecular
diversity using combinatorial principle,
very powerful diagnostics and therapeutics
for diverse diseases are currently under
development.
Major Achievements:
- Development of preventive and therapeutic
DNA vaccines for Hepatitis B and AIDS
(Dr. Young Chul Sung)
- Synthetic & natural peptide
ligands for immune & metabolic
disorders (Dr. Sung Ho Ryu)
- Peptide ligands for Alzheimer’s
disease identified (Dr. Yong Song
Gho)
- Hit compound for HCV discovered
(Dr. Sung Key Jang)
