Our Research

Our research groups work in various focus areas of including molecular biology of cancer, stem cell biology, neural biology, gene and transcription regulation, gene therapy, nutritional biochemistry, immunology and physiology.

What unites the groups are the overarching molecular, biochemical and cellular approaches used which call for similar equipment and facilities. Although most our research groups are affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine or the National Hospital, The Biomedical Center also encourages other groups to join the center.
