Supramolecular Biomedical Materials (SupraBioMat)

Basic data for this project

Description

Nano-structured functional materials are undoubtedly one of the main focal points in academic and industrial research communities. Nature's own bottom-up strategy for the construction of immensely complex and sophisticated nanoscaled systems have served as an inspiration for ground-breaking developments in the field of supramolecular chemistry. I aim to combine self-assembly and self-organization for the fabrication of complex supramolecular systems with specific functionality. I propose to use peptide discotics for the controlled self-assembly of supramolecular functional nanoparticles in water and target molecular imaging studies in order to develop Supramolecular Biomedical Materials.
