研究领域
The research focus of our laboratory is bioactive peptides, functional polymers, and their potential pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.
Bioactive peptides
Research topics in this project includes:
design peptides with desired biological functions
develop novel peptide delivery method using peptide self-assembly technology
We have successfully developed several peptides with anti-heparin, anti-cancer, or antibacterial activity
Functional polymers
We are interested in smart polymers. Current research topics include:
develop functional polymers grafted surfaces with good biocompatibility
synthesize drug selectively bound polymers for drug formulation and delivery
