本研究主題專注於解析胰臟癌細胞及病患血液中循環自由DNA(cfDNA)之基因體變化,運用高通量定序技術鑑別包括單一核苷酸多型性(SNP)、拷貝數變異(CNV)及結構變異(Structural Variations)等關鍵突變,期望發掘具臨床潛力之分子標記,用以輔助早期診斷與預後評估。
This research topic focuses on analyzing the genomic changes in pancreatic cancer cells and circulating free DNA (cfDNA) in patients' blood. High-throughput sequencing technology is used to identify key mutations including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), copy number variations (CNVs) and structural variations, hoping to discover molecular markers with clinical potential to assist in early diagnosis and prognosis assessment.
本研究方向整合RNA-seq與miRNA-seq等多組學資料,結合機器學習演算法(如梯度提昇樹),針對大腸息肉中潛在的癌變關鍵基因與訊號路徑進行特徵選取與風險預測。藉由大量資料挖掘與模型訓練,建立可供個人化醫療應用之風險預測工具。
This research direction integrates RNA-seq and miRNA-seq and other multi-omics data, combined with machine learning algorithms (such as gradient boosting trees), to select features and predict risks for key genes and signal pathways that are potential cancers in colorectal polyps. Through large-scale data mining and model training, a risk prediction tool for personalized medical applications is established.
本研究主題聚焦於特定癌症中異常表現的中心粒蛋白,利用 t-Stochastic Neighbor Embedding(t-SNE)等降維技術,篩選與癌症病理發展高度相關之蛋白質,並進一步探討其功能與癌症細胞有絲分裂、染色體不穩定性等生物學過程之關聯。
This research topic focuses on centriolar proteins that are abnormally expressed in specific cancers. Dimensionality reduction techniques such as t-Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) are used to screen proteins that are highly correlated with the pathological development of cancer, and further explore the relationship between their functions and biological processes such as cancer cell mitosis and chromosomal instability.
我們透過自胎盤來源分離人類間質幹細胞,建立其分化為脂肪細胞與神經細胞的體外誘導模型,同時分析其分泌之外泌體(Exosomes)在幹細胞生理機制中的調控角色,以及於再生醫療與臨床應用之潛力。
We isolated human mesenchymal stem cells from placenta and established an in vitro model of their differentiation into adipocytes and neurons. We also analyzed the regulatory role of exosomes secreted by them in the physiological mechanism of stem cells and their potential in regenerative medicine and clinical applications.
