Nature-inspired Protein Research
Snake venoms contain various bioactive proteins and peptides. With their potent bioactive properties, we have been long intrigued for their potential applications in various fields such as medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. Incorporating approaches of multi-omics (proteomics, transcriptomics, genomics), molecular and structural biology, pharmacology, immunology, and bioinformatics etc., these proteins and peptides can be used to elucidate physiological and pathological mechanisms, and harnessed in drug discovery as well as biomedical technologies. Our laboratory has a clear research vision covering the following directions, and we warmly welcome interested students to join us.
-
Investigating the structures and functions of bioactive proteins.
-
Investigating the immuno-modulatory functions of bioactive proteins in inflammatory conditions and the therapeutic approach.
-
Exploring unique antigenicity of proteins for the development of disease diagnostics and molecular markers in taxonomy.
-
Development of novel treatments that inhibit and neutralize toxicity associated with bioactive proteins.
-
Drug design and drug discovery inspired by bioactive proteins as drug leads.
