From Human Genome to Innovative Medicine
Research
The rapid evolution of genome sequencing technology has led to a better understanding of various types of human diseases. The ultimate goal of the genomic analysis is to free people from disease. We are conducting research to gain a deeper understanding of the basic mechanisms of the human genome, the blueprint of life that is full of unknowns, with the aim of bringing innovation to drug discovery, medicine and healthcare in the future.
