RESEARCH INTERESTS
Biomimetic scaffolds
Development of supramolecular polymeric hydrogels for mimicking the artificial ECM biomatrix. Currently, with our expertise in supramolecular chemistry, we are exploring the possibility of controlling mechanical insights such as dynamic mechanical stiffening and compression response of peptide-polymer conjugates as surrogate extracellular matrix materials.
Non-equilibrium peptide self-assembly
Development of pathway dependent self-assembly in amyloid inspired minimalistic peptide system to form 1D fiber, twisted bundle and 2D lamellar morphologies.
Chiral Sensing and Recognition
Single chain polymeric nanoparticles with stimuli-responsiveness are designed towards development of efficient catalytic nanocontainer in persuit of mimicking enzymes and in designing self-healing materials.
Multivalent molecular probe
Taking lesson from nature, molecular probe with enhanced binding affinity are designed for application in imaging and diagnostic application
