We apply fundamental principles of chemistry, physics, engineering, and biology to produce nanoscale materials, devices, and systems to understand basic sciences, advance technology, and impact medicine. In particular, we are interested in using DNA and lipids as functional polymers and building blocks. Students will be trained on a wide range of synthetic, analytical, and biochemical techniques. We are currently interested in the following several research topics:

1. Bio-inspired assembly and nanotechnology
2. Targeted drug delivery/nanomedicine
3. Bioinorganic / Bioanalytical chemistry
