Areas of Interest

  • Supramolecular Biomaterials: The use of non-covalent molecular recognition motifs to engineer highly tunable, dynamic, modular, and bioactive materials for biomedical and biological applications.
  • “Smart” Drug Delivery and Diagnostics: The development of new strategies to deliver drugs, therapeutic proteins, or diagnostic agents that are capable of sensing and responding to spatiotemporal indicators of disease and/or overcoming physiologic barriers.
  • Bio-inspired Materials: The engineering of new materials using nature as inspiration or using natural frameworks to engineer materials with emergent properties that realize enhanced functionality and improved environmental sensing.
  • Supramolecular Chemistry: The development of new supramolecular motifs that afford enhanced affinity, improved biocompatibility, and/or more precise biomimicry to fully integrate the practice of supramolecular chemistry into new strategies for health care.
