Overview
In order to solve the health problems that human beings are facing today, our research focuses on the development of novel drugs against several important infectious diseases, genetic diseases, and cancers.
Our major research projects include:
-
Development of antiviral drugs targeting the nucleocapsid protein against emerging viruses.
-
Development of anticancer drugs targeting DNA or RNA.
-
Development of diagnostic tools for genetic diseases associated with unusual DNA structures.

March 2025- Our research paper on 'Structural and Functional Insights into Targeting GCCG Sites in the EGFR Promoter by Two DNA Intercalators to Inhibit Breast Cancer Metastasis' has been published in Journal of Medicinal Chemistry. Congratulations Prof. Hou and our team!
October 2024- We are delighted to share that our research paper, "Antiviral Drug Development by Targeting the RNA Binding Site, Oligomerization, and Nuclear Export of Influenza Nucleoprotein," has been published in International Journal of Biological Macromolecules. Congratulations to Prof. Hou and our team!
July 2024- Our research paper on 'Targeting DNA junction sites by bis-intercalators induces topological changes with potent
antitumor effects' has been published in Nucleic Acids Research. Congratulations Prof. Hou and the team!
June 2024- Our research paper, "Structural Basis of Water-Mediated Cis Watson-Crick/Hoogsteen Base-Pair Formation in Non-CpG Methylation," has been published in Nucleic Acids Research. Congratulations to Prof. Hou and the team on this achievement!
興大人物誌|十年磨一劍 興大侯明宏教授投入抗冠狀病毒藥物開發
新冠肺炎疫情再度升溫,確診人員屢破新高。中興大學5月份發行《興大人物誌》影片,紀錄基因體暨生物資訊學研究所教授侯明宏從2003年SARS爆發至今,投入冠狀病毒研究的歷程。十多年來他孤軍奮戰,直至2020年3月,所提出以核殼蛋白作為冠狀病毒藥物開發標的之研究,終登《藥物化學》國際期刊封面,至今下載次數破萬,為全球抗冠狀病毒藥物開展新方向。
