with Protein-Controlled precision
A cutting-edge
research network
Program-Material is a cutting-edge research network redefining nanomaterials by integrating protein-controlled behaviors. By merging nanotechnology with synthetic biology, we design hybrid nanostructures that respond dynamically to specific proteins, unlocking new possibilities for biomedical and healthcare applications. We aim to make biomolecules the key regulators of nanomaterial properties.
Global community
