JANG SMART-BIO LAB
Soft Matter Assembly and Recombinant Technology
for Next-Generation Biomaterials
OUR GROUP SEEKS TO PROVIDE FUNDAMENTAL INSIGHTS AND PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS IN THE FIELD OF SUPRAMOLECULAR BIOMATERIALS. We aim to engineer structural and functional properties of supramolecular biomaterials for target applications including synthetic cells, micro-bioreactors, and antibacterial and drug release coatings. The vision of our lab is to utilize soft matter assembly, polymer engineering, and recombinant technology for the creation of advanced biomaterials. From a deep understanding of the interactions between soft matters, including polymers, proteins, and colloids, we develop supramolecular biomaterials that present target microscopic structure, mechanical properties, and functionality. Recombinant protein technology enables the creation of potential building blocks - functional fusion proteins controlled at molecular and supramolecular levels. The current focus of the Jang Lab is to design synthetic cell platforms based on the fusion protein-assembled vesicles, realize biomimetic functional surfaces for bactericidal properties, and understand cell-biomaterial Interactions.
