The research in our lab focuses on applying the biological concepts to the synthetic and hybrid macromolecules, for development of new functional materials with desired collective properties. Current projects include:

(1) Material Properties of Synthetic Polyamino Acids with Different Macromolecular Designs,

(2) Cooperative Polymerization Mechanisms in Covalent and Non-covalent Systems,

(3) Highly Functional Protein-Polymer and Nanoparticle-Polymer Hybrid Materials.
