About Our Group
Research
Megamolecules
Our group developed a platform for assembling large (~MDa), modular, homogeneous protein structures for therapuetic and diagnostic use.
High-Throughput Experiments
Our group utilizes the inert, ordered structure of self-assembled monolayers with MALDI-MS (SAMDI) to profile biological and chemical reactions in a label-free, high-throughput manner.
Surface Chemistry and Cellular Control
Our group uses microcontact printing, dynamic photoactivation, and other methods to engineer substrates that control cellular adhesion and behavior.
