Biofunctional polymer materials
We aim to recapitulate fundamental functions of living matter -such as recognition, assembly, and adaptation- in synthetic, polymer-based materials. Our research priorities are
- matrix engineering: (cell-instructive materials for tissue and disease models and regenerative therapies),
- hemocompatibility: (exploring blood-material interactions and developing anti-coagulant, anti-inflammatory and anti-septic coatings) and
- charging and structure formation at bio-interfaces: tools and methods targeting ionic charge, transport, supramolecular structure and bioadhesion.
