Research Focus of the Molecular Immunology Laboratory |
|
Yi-Ling Ye Professor Our research focuses on the molecular mechanisms regulating immune responses in cancer and autoimmune diseases. With access to a rich diversity of natural compounds sourced within our department, we screen numerous anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agents for potential health benefits. Additionally, we assess the side effects and risks associated with these natural compounds to evaluate their suitability for clinical immunotherapy. Our lab is part of the Precision Health and LOHAS Innovation Center (CPHLI) at National Formosa University (NFU). Our mission is to develop a platform dedicated to immune cell manufacturing and diagnostic applications. Currently, CPHLI is collaborating with hospitals in the vicinity of our university. Research Projects Include: 1. Evaluation of Immune Functions of Natural Compounds In collaboration with laboratories in the Department of Life Sciences and industry partners, we investigate the immune regulatory effects of natural compounds and assess their risks for clinical use. 2. Development of Miniature Biomedical Testing Devices Partnering with interdisciplinary labs across various departments at National Formosa University, we are developing a miniature clinical testing system that incorporates POCT (Point of Care Testing) and eco-friendly design principles. 3. Investigation of Immune Mechanisms in Diseases and Development of Clinical Detection Methods and Devices Through collaborations with hospitals, we conduct immune function monitoring throughout disease progression to support the goals of personalized precision medicine. |
