Welcome
Nanotechnology at the interface of chemistry and biology
We develop molecular tools and materials to sense, control, and program biomolecular function—bridging analytical chemistry, materials science, and chemical biology.
Research Highlights
A few snapshots of our work—methods, platforms, and applications.
Triggerable Peptide Assemblies
We are developing peptides that can assemble to form hierarchical structures within cancer cells to induce cell death.
Sequence-Encoded Nanomaterial Interfaces
We are developing nanoparticles that can bind enzymes and change their function.
Light-Free Photodynamic Therapy
We are developing multifunctional nanostructures that can enable light-free photodynamic therapy.
Bactericidal Nanomaterials
We are developing nanomaterials that can kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria by inducing membrane damage.
Wound Infection Therapy
We are developing multifunctional nanostructures that can help treat chronic wound infections.
Protein Delivery to Plants
We are developing nanomaterials that can enable delivery of proteins into plants.
