H.C. TAI LAB
@ NTU CHEM
Chemical Biology, Omics Technologies, & Neurochemistry
Our lab uses chemical biology methods to investigate protein damages and protein clearance in aging cells and neurodegenerative disorders, focusing on the following topics:
1) Synaptic pathology in Alzheimer's disease, investigated by fluorescence and super-resolution imaging, flow cytometry, next-generation sequencing, and LC-MS (proteomics and metabolomics).
2) Immunotherapy against tau oligomers in Alzheimer's disease
3) Method development in proteomics and metabolomics, mostly based on LC-MS.
Professor Hwan-Ching Tai has recently received the "Periodic Table of Younger Chemists--Phosphorous Award." It is a special award given by IUPAC in celebration of 2019, the International Year of the Periodic Table, designated by the United Nations.
