One is to cooperate with one Biotech Company at United States to develop type II-diabetic natural medicine by dual approach of functional genomic research and drug discovery. The other one is to collaborate with one Biotech Company at Canada to develop healthy food from compound by functional genomic research. PUBLICATIONS (within 5 years) 1.
