Research fields
Molecular machines
We design protein-based molecular machines that mimic the function of nanoscale motors in nature. Our main focus is building programmable protein fibers and protein “walkers”—tiny machines that move along these tracks. This work lays the foundation for new types of synthetic, controllable systems at the molecular level.
Design of Binders
We engineer custom proteins that bind tightly and specifically to natural targets, such as viral proteins, receptors, or enzymes.
