Our research group explores the design principles and applications of novel biomimetic materials. Our research is highly multidisciplinary and focuses on advancing the design and synthesis of functional molecules, polymers, and nanomaterials, and use them to generate synthetic cells (protocells) that self-assemble into tissue-like materials (protocellular materials). This is achieved by combining in an original and synergistic manner key aspects of organic chemistry, materials chemistry, and bottom-up synthetic biology.
Our strengths:

- Synthesis and characterisation of functional molecules, polymers, soft materials and nanomaterials
- Pickering emulsions
- Bottom-up synthetic biology
- Nano- and micro-mechanical testing of materials
