We investigate the mechanisms of telomere maintenance in regulating aging and cancer development. We utilize cell biology, mouse models, and next-generation sequencing techniques to explore the role of telomere function in aging-related diseases and cancer. Additionally, by integrating clinical medicine and medicinal chemistry, we aim to understand disease mechanisms and develop therapeutic approaches.

【Research Focus】
The Lab for Cell Dynamics (LCD) at Academia Sinica explores the biological functions of large-scale cell death during embryonic development, integrating advanced quantitative and imaging techniques. Our recent work (PMID: 38987590) reveals how developmental signals prime cells for death. We invite passionate junior scientists to join our team to investigate: How developmental cues orchestrate cell death during development.

我們正在尋找經驗豐富的行動應用程式開發人員，協助將 PQConnect 專案帶入 Android 和 iOS 作業系統。PQConnect 是一個全新且易於安裝的網路安全層，它能在有運行 PQConnect 的終端之間自動引入端到端的後量子加密技術。同時，它能與採用傳統密碼學的應用程式共同運作，並為任何已經內建後量子加密技術的使用者應用程式額外增加第二層的防護。PQConnect 在網路層的運作方式類似於 VPN，但它可容許的擴展性是大多數 VPN 應用程式所無法比擬的。如需了解更多資訊，請參考： https://www.pqconnect.net
