Designing materials with spatially controlled molecular interactions between cells and soft matter.

We explore how precise spatial organization of molecules can control multivalent binding between soft-matter and cells.

Research in our lab aims to develop nanomaterials that show unique and programmable inter- and intramolecular binding affinity profiles.
