HFIPS cares every aspect of human health with conducting a wide range work from basic science to have a look at mechanism, pathology and drugs of precise targeted therapy of tumors to applied technology to develop equipment for medical treatment and monitoring in medical environment.
Besides, HFIPS also carries out research work in life science like taking a unique angle to have look at molecular mechanism of animal magnetoreception.
For human health at a long-term, HFIPS also does study on green agriculture including radiation mutagenesis and molecular breeding and tries to develop technology to improve soil, fertilizer and crop.
Recently, the research team led by Professor WANG Junfeng from the High Magnetic Field Laboratory of the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), successfully developed a novel heat-sensitive ferritin mutant based on an in-depth understanding of the human ferritin molecular structure. They achieved the easy and efficient loading of the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin.
A team led by Prof. XU An at Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed the mutagenicity of α-endosulfan in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) germ cells in a recent study.
According to a paper published in Chemical Engineering Journal recently, a team from the High Magnetic Field Laboratory (HMFL), Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, successfully designed a safe and efficient nanotorpedo for the delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs.
