  Research Interest :

We are interested in applying protein engineering and nanotechnology to develop novel therapeutics, with a special interest in cancer. Our research lies at the interface of chemistry, protein engineering , nanotechnology and medicine.  We are developing platform technologies and tools for stabilizing and probing protein structure and function. Our research will focus on  engineering stabilized biomolecules for therapy in the context of siRNA delivery, vaccine development, membrane protein studies and regenerative medicine.
