Protein and peptide-based molecular nanomaterials for biomedical applications.

 

Research

Biological systems use a precise control in space and time to form functional materials, however, their dynamic properties are not yet accessible in man-made biomaterials. Our vision is to fill this gap by studying the manufacturing process of biological materials used in nature and applying these insights into design tools for biomaterials.

 

Specific interests:

  • Compartmentalization of enzymatic reactions in synthetic organelles;
  • Molecular self-assembly of ordered/disordered peptide and protein structures and their biophysical characterization;
  • Design rules of peptide assemblies as models for membraneless organelles;
  • Design of dynamic bioreactors formed by multicomponent peptide-based building blocks;
