General research description
Our research explores how programmable biomolecular systems can be engineered to sense, process, and respond to molecular information. Inspired by the dynamic interactions of biomolecules within living cells, we operate at the intersection of bioengineering, DNA nanotechnology, and synthetic biology to develop smart nanodevices and biomaterials with applications in diagnostics, biotechnology, and healthcare.
We design functional nucleic acid systems, adaptive biomimetic compartments, and next-generation biosensing platforms that integrate molecular recognition with programmable signal transduction. By harnessing the unique properties of biomolecules—including aptamers, CRISPR systems, and DNA-processing enzymes—we create responsive bioinspired systems capable of translating biological events into measurable and actionable outputs.
Our long-term vision is to establish a new generation of intelligent molecular technologies that seamlessly integrate sensing, information processing, and dynamic adaptation, bridging fundamental science with real-world biomedical and biotechnological applications.
