We develop macromolecular science and engineering techniques to construct well-defined materials for application in life-like complex systems
Eindhoven University of Technology - Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering
Biohybrid polymer synthesis
Biohybrid polymer synthesis
Advances in both radical polymerisation and bioconjugation techniques now permit many complementary functionalities to be incorporated in polymer architectures with precision. We have interests in in pushing the limits of these synthetic techniques to uncover new materials with responsive functionalities.
Hierarchical artificial cells
Hierarchical artificial cells
Many of nature’s most important processes involve transient assembled structures. We use self-assembly and soft matter engineering and to create specific spherical and non-spherical compartmentalized structures, that have adaptive and life-like behaviour inspired by natural biological systems.
RNA therapeutics and formulations
RNA therapeutics and formulations
We design and investigate investigate novel lipid-like polymer materials for use in complexing nucleic acid therapeutic molecules, and for improved stability and efficacy.
