Group Leaders

Our group aims to fuse complex chemical systems into cell biology as a means to synthetically evolve and augment cellular life.  
We would like to use rationale chemical design to create TME-aware therapeutics that can sense, process, and respond to chemical signals within diseased tissues.   
We develop cell-instructive materials from natural biopolymer-hybrids combined with synthetic units to address medical challenges: molecular design, synthesis & structural control, hydrogel biofabrication.
   
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.  
We focus on synthetic approaches to make polymers with a C-C-backbone (PE, PP, PS, acrylates..) biodegradable under environmental conditions without altering their rheological properties.  
Our group focused on the interdisciplinary work with other methods to get broader pictures of the properties of materials.
   

Scientific Coordinator

We develop synthetic peptide systems that assemble into supramolecular structures within immune cells to modulate their function.
