The work in laboratories of the Department of Cell Biology focuses on the main research interests:
- Experimental oncology: anti-cancer drug screening studies, cancer immunotherapy, nanomaterial application in cancer diagnosis and treatment, cell toxicity assessment on cultured cancer cells, acute toxicity assessment on laboratory mice.
- Biomedicine lab: genetic diversity and mutations, epigenetic related to human diseases.
- Animal Cell Biotechnology: isolation, culture, and differentiation of stem cells; evaluation of effects of natural chemicals/extracts on the differentiation process; pharmaceutical/chemical toxicity/activity test on zebrafish embryos; cell toxicity.
- Immunology: Immune regulation in autoimmune, infectious, and malignant diseases.
- Research group of bioactive products from living organisms: anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, insecticide products
- Study on the interaction between the host and pathogenic bacteria. The study focuses on the pathogenic Escherichia coli involved in inflammatory bowel diseases as well as colorectal cancer.
