BioNanomaterials Group

The Group bridges the gap between materials science and biology, integrating diverse scientific disciplines to pursue fundamental research and advanced applications that address critical societal challenges. We take a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to understanding these materials, bringing together expertise from chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering. Our research spans from their initial synthesis to their ultimate biological and environmental impacts, encompassing their chemical properties, behavior in complex environments, interactions with living systems, and long-term effects.
