Multicompartment Protein Vesicles
for Protocell Development We seek to create multicompartment vesicles containing functional protein domains by using microfluidics or microarrays. The multicompartment protein vesicles can serve as smart capsules, microbioreactors, or targeted drug delivery vehicles, which mimic protocell structure and functions.

Functional Protein Coatings
for Cell Fate Control We develop functional coatings and multilayer thin films using recombinant fusion proteins that contain thermoresponsive polypeptide and bioactive globular domains. The protein thin films developed in our group have a variety of biomedical applications such as wound healing, stem cell therapy, and/or antibacterial surfaces.

Phase Study of Globular Proteins Fused with Diblock Copolymer to Control Suprastructure
We study the phase behavior of globular fusion proteins containing diblock polypeptide domains under diverse environmental conditions. This work provides fundamental information of controlling the diverse suprastructure in solutions or thin films for target applications using recombinant fusion proteins.
