We focus on developing both small and bright tools for biology, that is, designing synthetic/semi-synthetic nanomaterials or small molecules with unique programmable physical properties for basic science and biomedical applications  

We develop tools to be used in biomedical research and in the clinic to alleviate suffering caused by a wide range of diseases.

  These tools are developed using a synergetic multidisciplinary approach, including synthetic chemistry, materials science, biochemistry, and cell biology.
