MISSION

Imagination that Creates

We respect the “zero” field, where science has not fully explored yet today. Creation from zero is always a risk and takes tremendous courage to commit and accept the outcome. This ability to make a conscious, risky, decision is unique to humanity, and we, as scientist, should exploit it.

Think weird, crazy, small idea, constantly, and ideate the simplest experiment. 

Define what you cannot do, then find collaborators. Interact people with different culture and expertise. 

Amplify your small idea, and visualize its potential and promise that inspires.


WHAT WE DO?

The goal of our laboratories is to conduct basic research and discovery to commit to next-gen medicine with four major areas of interests include: 

  1. model and manipulate humanity in model systems
