The central theme of our interdisciplinary research is an emerging area of nanobiotechnology: the role of biomaterials surface chemistry in modulating the materials-biology interface. This work is particularly crucial for biological applications of materials given the central role of surface chemistry in constructing biomaterials with appropriate functionalities and biocompatibility. Our research has demonstrated the utility of these novel materials in different bio-applications including diagnostics, drug discovery and therapeutic delivery. Long-term, we aim to innovate effective point-of-care diagnostics for different diseases with personalized screening abilities, novel platforms for precision medicine, and tissue engineering incorporating the desired materials properties.
Current research topics are:
Chemical Biology
Nanomedicine
Tailorable soft materials
Nano-emulsions and vesicles
Metal nanoclusters
Self-assembly of nanomaterials
