We develop cell-instructive materials from natural biopolymer-hybrids combined with synthetic units to address medical challenges: molecular design, synthesis & structural control, hydrogel biofabrication. [more]
We develop chemical strategies to precisely functionalize biomolecules and devise (bio)macromolecular therapeutics that can specifically alter the microenvironment of cells.

We prepare hierarchically assembled biomaterials from stimuli-responsive, supramolecular building blocks in combination with (bio-)polymers. These hybrid materials offer exciting possibilities to facilitate cell-material communication. [more]
We are developing nanodiamond (ND) quantum sensing technology for in-situ probing and manipulating the intracellular parameters such as temperature, pH, and radical species in living systems.
