Advanced Electronics and Biomedical Applications

Function-Forward Polymer Systems

Fundamental and applied studies target biological activity, imaging capabilities, drug and gene delivery, toxin sequestration, photoactivity, electroactivity, and triggered destruction.

Advanced electronics and biomedical projects connect functional polymer design with energy storage, imaging, delivery, biological activity, and triggered degradation.

  • Nanomedicine-inspired polymer assemblies
  • Organic radical and polypeptide energy storage materials
  • Multimodal imaging and delivery platforms
