你曾否對那些隱藏在細胞微觀世界的秘密感到好奇?那些微小的分子又是如何關乎我們的生命健康?澳門科技大學副校長姜志宏講座教授、張偉副教授研究團隊,正帶領我們深入生命的奧秘,解密核苷酸和tRNA這些生命的微小基石。
我們的身體就像是疾病的戰場,而理解與控制分子互動就是我們的護身符。姜志宏講座教授、張偉副教授團隊的研究人員正在破解這個難題,他們用創新的方法展現我們細胞中核苷酸的特性,為抗擊癌症等頑疾打開新的大門。
這些研究結果為抵抗癌症等危害人體健康的疾病提供了新的思路。團隊已發現tRNA的某些變化可能讓癌細胞對化療產生抵抗,而研究並解析這些變化,可能為新型治療方法的開發打開一扇門。多年來,他們一直在研究和完善tRNA的檢測方法,這個創新工具更像是一個疾病偵探,直指疾病源頭,找出疾病的潛在因素。
然而,團隊的研究並沒有止步。現階段,他們正在探究農業化學品如何對我們精密的細胞機制造成破壞。
姜志宏講座教授、張偉副教授的研究團隊一直致力於通過每一次科研突破,讓人們更接近健康,使世界更加可持續。他們的工作與聯合國可持續發展目標不謀而合,即不斷努力推動科研的進步,以期實現健康、福祉,打造一個人人有機會健康成長的未來。
