Laboratory of Biomimetic Soft Materials

The core focus of this research is to develop novel polymerization methods that enable the controlled and scalable synthesis of polymers from natural building blocks, such as amino acids and related molecules. Through precision synthetic strategies, we aim to access functional macromolecules with defined architecture, sequence, and dynamic behavior. By integrating step-growth, chain-growth, and quasi-chain-growth polymerizations with dynamic chemistries, we will create structural proteins like polymer systems with programmable properties.
