Biomimetic materials, nanoscale self-assembly, gene delivery
Our general theme is to engineer functional biomaterials from a molecular-scale perspective so as to control self-assembly or molecular recognition. Many of these efforts focus on various contexts of cell-material interactions which are relevant to drug/gene delivery and biocompatibility.
