研究方向

 葛东亮教授的研究方向是研发革命性的新型基因组检测技术，以根本上提高使用液体活检进行疾病检测的准确性；为人类提供一种全球领先的健康管理和癌症筛查技术方法， 从而使得早期、高效的外科和其他临床干预成为可能。这一方向可以应用于广阔的医疗大健康领域，包括无创产前诊断 NIPT、感染性疾病、药物研发等。 液态活检技术是一种检测人类体液，包括血液、尿液、脑脊液等中的游离核酸，以实现疾病的诊断、监测和预后等的新型技术。 液态活检技术可以成为疾病早期诊断的有效工具，但必须对其进行准确、灵敏、有效力的检测。液态活检技术的发展和技术衍生，未来5-20年，将对人类对抗癌症，产生一个革命性、摧枯拉朽的科学和产业影响。 葛教授团队课题组的研究方向是研发、应用革命性的新型基因组检测技术和计算机分析技术，以根本上解决基因组检测临床应用中的一些关键挑战，从而提高全球人类大健康状况。未来的科研工作开展计划，具体可以分为三个层面：

（1）若干种新型的化学和生物化学材料和方法，以实现人类血浆、血清、唾液、尿液、脑脊液等体液中微量遗传物质的高效率富集、保存、抽提、靶向操作等，作为平台性技术可以应用于广阔的遗传物质分析领域。

（2）肿瘤大数据平台和人工智能机器学习技术，确保准确高效地从高质量肿瘤基因组大数据进行深度机器学习，有效地解决肿瘤基因组高度异质性的问题。基于人工智能技术，我们可以精准识别样本中的循环肿瘤DNA，进而实现早期癌症的诊断。

（3）上述化学和生物化学材料和方法和人工智能机器学习技术的有机融合。 目的是实现样本中肿瘤DNA片段的精准、高效富集，并对这些DNA片段进行精准分析，用于早期癌症的诊断。该技术融合后，与传统血浆游离DNA富集技术相比，可以特异性地富集肿瘤DNA，去除来自于正常组织的DNA片段背景噪音，提高了肿瘤DNA分析的准确性，并降低测序深度及成本，使得高准确度、低成本的癌症早期诊断成为可能。
