研究领域

1. Bioengineering of spider fibroins Spider silks are proteinaceous biopolymers with extraordinary physical properties and biomimetic potential. This research focuses on the structure-based engineering and design of silk fibroins for the production of artificial spider silks with desirable mechanical properties. 2. NMR structural & functional studies on p75NTR signaling p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) is a member of the Tumor Necreosis Factor Superfamily and its signaling actively contributes to neurodegeneration. The aim of this project is to elucidate structural mechanisms of p75NTR signaling in the nervous system and to discover drugs for neurodegenerative diseases and nerve injury.
