Research area

Directed assembly of functional biological materials: directed assembly of micortubules through ordered centrosomes or centrosome fragments, for the development of highly sensitive and selective devices for a variety of sensing and actuating needs.

Assembly of functional nanomaterials: protein directed self-assembly of nanoparticles; assembly of nanoparticles through enzymatic reactions.

Interactions between biological molecules and nanostructured materials: fundamental aspects of structures and functions of biological molecules on nanomaterials.
