Development of anti-diabetic therapy from Chinese Medicine
Principal Investigator:
Prof. Karen Lam
Project Coordinators:
Dr Aimin Xu
Organisation:
The University of Hong Kong
Key Features:
Knowledge-based screening of a CM formula using in vivo and in vitro assays for novel bioactivities / therapeutic effects for potential applications against metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disorders
Identification of major bioactive components for the multiple therapeutic effects of the CM studied
From tradition to scientific discoveries and generation of new intellectual properties for applications: e.g. scientific evidence, biomarkers for disease monitoring, new therapeutics or health products
The evaluation of CM for anti-diabetic properties and related cell functions
