Biophysics and Applied Plasma Physics Lab

Our research group investigates the biophysical mechanisms underlying protein and peptide self-assembly, with the goal of harnessing these processes for diverse applications in biomaterials.

A central theme of our work is the use of cold atmospheric pressure (CAP) plasma to direct the supramolecular assembly of amino acids, peptides, and proteins. Supramolecular architectures from non-covalent assemblies of biomolecules, are essential for replicating the dynamic, functional, and hierarchical nature of biological systems. These structures enable tunable mechanical properties, stimuli-responsiveness, and enhanced biocompatibility, all of which are critical for advanced biomedical applications such as drug delivery, tissue engineering, and biosensing. CAP plays a unique role in facilitating these assemblies by introducing reactive species and functional groups that promote molecular alignment, cross-linking, and ordered structuring, all without compromising the integrity of temperature-sensitive biomolecules. Additionally, CAP offers localized, non-thermal processing capabilities and inherent antimicrobial effects, making it an ideal tool for fabricating clean, functional biomaterials.

In parallel, we are developing novel functional biomaterials derived from NE silk proteins, aiming to unlock their unique properties for advanced bioengineering solutions.
