Ongoing Exploration is developing functional degradable polymers and oligomers that serve as" molecular transporters" to deliver medicines and examinations into cells, tunable hydrogels that serve as artificial cell pulpits for cell transplantation and regenerative cell remedy, and Nano pillars as subcellular detectors to probe natural functions in living cells. Theoretical and computational sweats seek to understand the statistical mechanics of soft accoutrements, including proteins, DNA, and lipid membranes.
