Center of Excellence in Bioactive Resources for Innovative Clinical Applications (BRICA) established with the objectives of developing biologically active substances for the treatment of various diseases in clinical settings, in the form of medical supply, herbal medicine, food supplement and cosmetics. Our researches cover wide range of natural substances including herbal and animal extracts or fungi and bacteria. Starting from active ingredient analysis, we also investigate physical, chemical and biological properties. Evaluation the activities in cell culture, animal study and human clinical study will also be performed.
