Research Highlights

A few snapshots of our work—methods, platforms, and applications.

Triggerable Peptide Assemblies

We are developing peptides that can assemble to form hierarchical structures within cancer cells to induce cell death.

Sequence-Encoded Nanomaterial Interfaces

We are developing nanoparticles that can bind enzymes and change their function.

Light-Free Photodynamic Therapy

We are developing multifunctional nanostructures that can enable light-free photodynamic therapy.

Bactericidal Nanomaterials

We are developing nanomaterials that can kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria by inducing membrane damage.

Wound Infection Therapy

We are developing multifunctional nanostructures that can help treat chronic wound infections.

Protein Delivery to Plants

We are developing nanomaterials that can enable delivery of proteins into plants.
