Introduction to KDCRC
Korean Medicine-Based Drug Repositioning Cancer Research Center (KDCRC) is discovering a new Korean Medicine based drug that is effective for treatment and prevention of cancer management of adverse events through reinterpretation of Korean Medicinals and utilizing existing drug development methods. Through reinterpretation of Korean Medicinals that has been used for various symptoms and diseases and new application of these drugs to cancer patiens, we expect to develop successful cancer treatmentsOur Korean Medicine-Based Drug Repositioning Cancer Research Center aims to discover and reconstruct herbal medicines through profound medical research. As cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, the center's goal is to develop drugs for cancer treatment, prevention, and management.
As life expectancy increases and the population ages, cancer patients continue to rise; hence, the development of cancer treatments is also becoming exceptionally vital.
With that said, it is our utmost priority to develop effective cancer treatments by reinterpreting and repositioning herbal medicines for cancer patients.
Based on our center's research, we hope to promote overall health, develop new anticancer drugs, and strengthen the competitiveness of our traditional Korean medicine.
