Abstract

In 2006, the South Korean Ministry of Science and Technology selected the KIST and Purdue team project from 20 international research proposals submitted to examine how to learn more about the molecular makeup of diseases.

The $4.5 million research initiative, which spans nine years, now involves more than a dozen of KIST and Purdue researchers, working to advance the role that nanoparticles can play in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer or chronic diseases like diabetes and multiple sclerosis.

The research also focuses on next-generation tools that would aid the medical community in what's known as theragnosis -- combining simultaneous diagnostics and therapeutics.

  1. KIST/PU Theragnosis – A New Paradigm of Personalized Medicine

    Online Presentations | 06 Dec 2011 | Contributor(s): Ick Chan Kwon

    Companion Diagnosis, based on pharmacogenomics, has been recognized as one of most important key representatives of personalized medicine. However, Companion Diagnosis does not provide any clues in developing new ways of therapeutics but it only provides a best choice of drugs based on given...

  3. KIST/PU Nanostructured Heparin Derivatives as an Angiogenesis Inhibitor

    Online Presentations | 07 Dec 2011 | Contributor(s): Youngro Byun

    Although low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) has been known to regulate angiogenesis, tumor growth and metastasis, the administration of heparin for treating cancer is limited in clinical application due to its unsatisfactory therapeutic effects and a strong anticoagulant activity, which induces...
