- Developing integrated solutions for molecular differential diagnosis. Biochemical reactions, such as the polymerase chain reaction, are like software in the IT industry, they require tailor-made hardware to become more functional. Dr. Han is developing an integrated technology platform that allows multiplexmolecular differential diagnoses carried out in a fashion that is high throughput, semi-quantitative, automatic, and with a closed system.
- Applying the multiplex PCR technology, Dr. Han is developing a method to study interactions between our immune system and the environment.
Dr. Jian Han and fellow scientists at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology were recently published with the paper—High throughput sequencing reveals a complex pattern of dynamic interrelationships among human T cell subsets—in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
