About
Dr Hong You (senior research officer, SRO-6) has been focused on the identification / characterisation of vaccine/drug targets against schistosome infections by exploiting cutting-edge technologies for gene functional studies including CRISPR-based systems (CRISPR/Cas9 and CRISPR interference/activation), transcriptomics, proteomics, and RNA interference. Her research also extended the development of next-generation point-of-care diagnostics tools (by using CRISPR-Cas12/13 system) for schistosomiasis and other helminthic diseases.
