Center Introduction

Natural product research center has been established to lead and facilitate the advancement of natural product industrialization in domestic and global markets by performing fast screening and uncovering precise mode of action (MOA) of bioactive natural products. Our center mainly focus on the discovery of the first target in the world applicable for functional foods and medicines based on multi-omics techniques. We are also doing research on construction of high throughput screening system and in vivo animal model by validating and optimizing the candidate target as well as development of a transformation technique to maximize content of bioactive compounds in natural products.
