Biology is a finely-tuned machine composed of many complex processes work together. Proteins, or more generally, biomolecules are fundamental units of life, and can be thought of as tiny machines in a factory. Most of the time, these biomolecules need to coordinate their efforts in order to function properly, thus making the interactions between biomolecules just as important as the molecules themselves, if not more so. The goal of my lab is to contribute to the understanding of how biomolecules interact, with different affinity (strength), specificity, and selectivity, and how each may be beneficial to different functions carried out in biology.<\/p>\n
Even further along this line, we also want to leverage what is already known to design the future of biotechnology. This means taking inspiration from life, which is already a highly-optimized system, and building new technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
