Research Interests
Protein-based Molecular Switch
Constructing biomaterials through protein engineering offers a unique and powerful solution to create well-defined and multi-functional materials that control cells and tissues behavior. Protein engineering approaches enable the construction of a novel protein. We are designing and constructing novel artificial proteins having several additional functions by the protein engineering
