Thumbnail — The IAS HKUST-Scripps R&D Laboratory is also led by Prof. Paul SCHIMMEL, IAS Visiting Professor and Ernest and Jean Hahn Professor of Molecular Biology and Chemistry at the Scripps Research Institute.

Thumbnail — The laboratory developed an aminoacyl tRNA synthetases (AARS) transcriptome enrichment method and used high throughput deep sequencing to comprehensively identify new AARS variants.

IAS HKUST - Scripps R&D Lab reveals its achievements in recent researches on therapeutic proteins, including a systematic methodology for discovery of novel naturally-occurring splice variants and characterization of their biological activities. In addition, it also highlights how scientific computation and "big data" come into play.
