Research Interests

Using a combination of synthetic chemistry, polymer physics and molecular biology, we design and execute decisive experiments to answer important questions of macromolecules, colloids and biology, including
1) development of non-viral vectors for molecular medicines;
2) nucleation of neuron-degenerative diseases related protein aggregation;
3) design, synthesis and assembly of functional macromolecules;
4) dynamics and structures of polymer solutions and gel networks;
5) molecular characteristic properties of intractable and special polymers.
