Differentiated Competitiveness
Julia Laboratory accumulated all data on proteome and metabolome on macular degeneration, cataract, diabetic retinopathy, and Alzheimer’s disease. These data include qualitative and quantitative analysis of proteomic and metabolomics data toward disease progression-related changes using tissue samples from patients.
Technology 1 A proteome library and big data related to apoptosis and angiogenesis
We have analyzed and identified all molecules involved in retinal cell death and angiogenesis using proteomics technology to establish a library and a big database.
Technology 2 Protein Interactome Mapping and metabolomics network related to macular degeneration
All molecules involved in macular degeneration and retinal cell death were quantitatively analyzed and a full map of the related molecules was generated using the bioinfomatic tools.
Technology 3 Securing a metabolome database related to visual cycle proteins denaturation drug delivery
We have visual cycle proteins/small molecules/genome database
New drug candidate database
Julia Laboratory is a candidate for the treatment of dry macular degeneration, which has mitochondrial protection, amyloid beta inhibitor, antioxidant, and visual cycle controller.
Julia Laboratory has a library of novel target proteins and antibodies that are involved in the regulation of wet macular degeneration and angiogenesis.
Julia laboratory continuously discovers new drug candidates for each disease using Julia’s drug design platform.
