Ⅰ. Research Directions and Features
The department focuses on major disease areas and has formed distinctive research directions based on its own advantages:
1.Research on the Mechanisms and Early Screening of Neurodegenerative Diseases: Focusing on Alzheimer's disease and others, in-depth exploration of its pathogenesis, committed to developing early, non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers and screening strategies.
2.Development of Novel Nano Drug Carriers: Dedicating efforts to the construction and application research of novel iron-based nanomaterials, developing intelligent drug delivery systems to provide new solutions for the precise treatment of diseases such as tumors.
3.Exploration of Tumor Immune Microenvironment and Interventional Targeted Therapy: Leveraging the advantages of interventional technology to study the immune characteristics of the local tumor microenvironment and explore new strategies combining interventional therapy with targeted drugs and immunotherapy.
Ⅱ. Currently Available Projects:
1.Cell Culture Experiments: Including cell passaging, cell proliferation and cytotoxicity detection, and cell immunofluorescence experiments. Cell culture can be used for research on cell pathways, apoptosis, protein localization, etc., and is a commonly used experimental method in scientific research.
2.E. coli Culture Experiments: E. coli culture experiments, plasmid transformation experiments. E. coli culture can be used to express specific proteins or clone genes, and is a routine operation method for genetic research by experimenters.
3.Nucleic Acid Extraction Experiments: DNA extraction from blood and tissue, RNA extraction, preservation, etc. Nucleic acids are key materials for conducting SNP research, sequencing, and gene upregulation or downregulation studies. The Central Laboratory has the conditions for nucleic acid extraction and preservation.
4.SDS-PAGE Experiments: SDS-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis experiments for analyzing proteins expressed in samples. A Western Blot immuno-electrophoresis imaging system has been purchased, enabling the completion of Western Blot experiments.
5.PCR Experiments: Conventional PCR experiments, fluorescent quantitative PCR experiments, which can be used for the amplification, analysis, and identification of DNA or RNA extracted from samples.
6.Biochemical Index Detection: Can perform detection of biochemical indicators such as Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT), Peroxidase (POD), and protein content in serum, plasma, and tissue samples.
7.ELISA Experiments: Can perform various ELISA assays on serum or plasma samples. The Central Laboratory can conduct measurements of cytokines and antibodies in samples.
