Acupuncture medicine is a fascinating forefront of natural medicine in both of scientific research and clinical application. A new era of medicine will be opened to those who focuses on prevention of disease and holistic health improvement, which seems to be unattainable by means of mechanistic or reductionistic approach of modern allopathic medicine.
Acupuncture and meridian science research center (AMSRC) of Korea, a multidisciplinary research institute, has a vision of acupuncture medicine as a medicine with a firm scientific basis and AMSRC as a cornerstone facility of a new era of medicine and health. For that cause, multidisciplinary members of AMSRC team, equipped with cutting-edge research methods,are carrying out challenging researches.

The goal of AMSRC is to establish conceptual basis for mechanisms of the therapeutic effect of acupuncture and meridian phenomena.
Our project aims to elucidate the neurophysiological mechanism of acupuncture on the neurovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, to map neuronal action of the acupuncture point and meridian using fMRI and PET, and to search a novel factor to acupuncture specific gene and protein.
Advances in sophisticated technology utilized in the fields of neuroscience and molecular biology have the potential to lead to greater understanding of the mechanisms underlying the effects of acupuncture.

Elucidation of neurophysiological mechanism of acupuncture on the neurovascular and neurodegenerative diseases - Neuronal cell activation and neuronal transduction action of
acupuncture stimulation using neurophysiology. - Comparative study according to acupuncture stimulation type - Screening cell transduction factor and phosphoprotein related
to acupuncture stimulation using neuroproteomics. - Verification of neuroprotective effect of acupuncture on the
neurodegenerative diseases.
Neuronal mapping of acupuncture point and meridian using fMRI and PET - Setting up design and data analysis of acupuncture and meridian phenomena using fMRI and PET - Observation of the effect of acupuncture on the craving of the addicted patients. - Elucidation of the mechanism of modulatory effect of acupuncture on pain stimuli. - Neuronal mapping of acupuncture points and meridian phenomena. - Elucidation of the mechanism of antinoceiceptive effect of acupuncture in animal pain model.
Searching for a novel factor and pharmacodynamic approach to acupuncture specific gene and protein. - Analysis of gene expression and protein expression profile accompanying the acupuncture stimulation in the Parkinson's and dementia animal model. - Analysis of gene expression and protein expression profile accompanying the acupuncture stimulation in the ischemia animal model. - Analysis of gene expression and protein expression profile accompanying the acupuncture stimulation in the stress animal model. |

AMSRC is the first and only science research center founded by KOSEF as a science
-based acupuncture and meridian research center with a great
contribution to the field of alternative and complementary medicine in the world by supplying well -trained researchers to research institutions. The AMSRC may contribute to provide with the creativity and
superiority in research
and education in the field of acupuncture and meridian. AMSRC will continue such a role in the development of national potential of new medicine in conjunction with biotechnology, and genomics.
