Our group seeks to provide fundamental insights and practical solutions in the field of supramolecular biomaterials made from polymers and recombinant proteins. We aim at engineering structural and functional properties of self-assembled biomaterials for target applications including smart capsules, micro-reactors, antibacterial and drug release coatings. The mission of our lab is to utilize soft matter assembly and recombinant technology for the creation of advanced biomaterials. The supramolecular biomaterials studied in our group include multicompartment vesicles, porous thin films, multilayer coatings, and a variety of self-assembled structure in a solution or at a surface.
