HOME > Research Activities     Application as basic researches for the development of diagnostic & drug treatment systems based on Traditional Korean Medicine   - Derivation of sasang constitutional diagnosis standards - Collection of sasang constitutional information and examination of biological patterns of genetic inheritance targeting lineage Development of sasang constitutional diagnosis chip   - Usage of high density SNP microarray on genome DNA for each sasang constitution based on the classification system of Sasang Constitutional Medicine - Identification of chromosomes and gene groups relating to sasang constitution - Discovery of genetic biomarkers for each sasang constitution Discovery of related Gene Locus through Linkage Analysis   - Analysis of genetic percentage relating to characteristics deciding constitution including Sasang Constitution using Korean lineage Development of sasang constitutional distinction algorithm & diagnostic chip   - Integrated utilization of sasang constitutional information including constitutional clinical information, genome information, and constitutional diagnosis device information Examination of the hereditary of biological constitution and discovery of genes related to sasang constitution Collecting information of drugs, preventative substances, and oriental drug treatment technique and building database systems     Development of new technology in next generation fused oriental medicine-BT by securing source technology native to Korea based on Sasang Constitution. Based on this, it is possible to attain basic technology to lead the world traditional medicine market through the scientific systemization, commercialization, and globalization of Traditional Korean Medicine. It is expected to built the Korean type of health and medical treatment system based on future customized medical technology. It is predicted that individually customized medicine market which western medicine leads will be opened about 20 years later and the group customized medicine market which Sasang Constitutional Medicine leads will be commercialized in about 10 years later. As a result, there is the effect of preoccupying future customized medicine market with securing source technology, a significant ripple effect on related industries is expected.     Clustering based on Genetic Similarity (Neighbor-Joining Tree of Individual Similarity)
