Description: Supramolecular chemistry. Autowiring nanocircuits. Self-assemblying ECM. Biomineralization.
is an emerging sub-discipline of chemistry that primarily concerns itself with non-covalent, intermolecular interactions. These relatively weak forces are used in large number to create nanometer sized objects in a massively parallel fashion. The inspiration for this area of research comes primarily from advances in our understanding of biological systems and the miraculous structures found therein. Recently, great strides have been made to mimic both the structures found in biological systems and the approaches that biology uses to create these structures. Our lab uses these non-covalent interactions to direct the self-assembly of novel nanostructured materials. These materials are typically prepared from peptides or peptide derivatives which makes them quick and easy to synthesize. Applications for these materials are diverse. Current projects in our lab include:
