Modern medicine is entering an era where molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, and intelligent laboratory systems must converge to improve patient care. Our research focuses on understanding how extracellular vesicles carry molecular signals that reflect physiological and pathological states, particularly in brain disorders and maternal health. By integrating multi-omics biology with clinical laboratory science, the goal is to translate molecular discoveries into robust diagnostic tools.
