Current Researches (연구분야)

Metabolomic research in the discovery and Clinical effectiveness of novel biomarkers related to Metabolic Syndrome  
(대사체 연구기반 대사성 증후군 신규바이오마커 발굴 및 임상적 유의성 확보)

Metabolic Syndrome is a disorder related to the manifestation of different medical conditions (i.e. obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated glucose level, high triglycerides, and low HDL level. The research aims to discover nover biomarkers which can be used for the early detection or even prevention of these medical conditions.

Omics-based research on the Toxicity and Pathogenesis of Endocrine Disruptors 
(오믹스 기반 환경호르몬 독성과 질환발생기전 연구)

Endocrine disruptors have been found to be persistent in our environment. With its effect in our endocrine system, the research aims to have a full understanding on its influence to the different metabolomic pathways of a human to further understand its complex interaction to the system.

Lung cancer research
(호기응축액을 분석하기 위한 GC/MS 사용법에 대한 토의)

The research performs compound profiling from exhale breath condensate in discovering potential biomarkers for lung cancer

Environmental Metabolomics
(환경대사체학)

An emerging study which merges a clinical approach in environmental research. Environmental metabolomics aim to provide a more deeper understanding of emerging pollutants: its persistence and its possible effect to the ecosystem. With the help of high throughput machines, analysis have been placed into a more sensitive approach into analyzing pollutant-environment effect.
Currently in coordination with an environmental engineering laboratory, Biomonitoring Laboratory, of the university, Environmental Metabolomics hope to open a new door of detecting and analyzing pollutants in a more sensitive and more accurate manner.
