  • 致力于重新定义使用分子测试区分疾病阶段的诊断标准,以促进传染病和恶性病全方位诊断、预后和治疗评估检测方法的发展

    研究专注于工程化多组学、纳米医药、机制驱动的生物标志物发现和检测方法的开发。与传统临床微生物学的生物标志物发现和检测研究不同,所做工作利用纳米材料的特殊属性来提高检测方法的性能和可重复性,用于分析传染病和恶性疾病的类似特征,促进全方位诊断、预后和治疗评估检测方法的发展,并作为一个长期目标,重新定义使用分子测试区分疾病阶段的诊断标准。以结核分枝杆菌诱导的结核病为主要研究模型,着重于识别和验证外泌体(EV)携带的与疾病相关的蛋白质和核酸靶标的变化。同时,也致力于研究非EV 相关的肽生物标志物,以及探索血清/血浆和EV 生物标志物的变化,这些变化与Mtb 增殖或毒力、免疫系统的抑制或遏制,以及药物耐药性表型或疾病复发的发展有关。创新性的检测平台的应用,如高分辨率质谱、纳米材料探针和CRISPR 技术,是研究的重要组成部分。

    最终目标是将这些研究成果转化为简单、经济有效的临床前检测方法,以加强疾病筛查并快速准确评估治病效果。
