Project Overview
The Traditional Chinese Medicine Autoimmune Disease and Dry Eye Syndrome Objective Measurements Lab (AIDDES Lab) is dedicated to integrating traditional Chinese medicine theory with modern science and technology. The lab conducts prospective research on the mechanisms of autoimmune rheumatic diseases and dry eye syndrome, as well as the potential role of TCM-based adjunctive therapies.
The lab focuses on objective measurements including TCM constitution, tongue diagnosis, pulse diagnosis, iris imaging, nailfold capillaroscopy, and heart rate variability, alongside biomedical indicators such as DNA, RNA, proteomics, and oral microbiome data.
The donation project aims to support advanced research equipment, artificial intelligence and deep learning systems, genomics and multi-omics studies, clinical trials of Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture, a real-world big-data platform, research training, and international academic exchange.
