Wang, Qian
Department Chair/Professor
The research in Wang group is divided into four distinctive but inter-connected topics:1)chemoselective functionalization of bionanoparticles BNPs; 2)self-assembly of BNPs towards materials development;3)cell-recognition study with BNP-assemblies;&4)fluorogenic reaction for protein imaging & recognition. All these researches point to one direction:to build three-dimensional programmable scaffolds that mimic the native extracellular matrices & can be used to probe the cellular activities.
