Research Interests:

Our research activities are mainly in the areas of protein biochemistry, peptide/protein chemistry, bioanalytical chemistry, chemical biology, and bioengineering. Our research aim is to develop next-generation platform for disease diagnostics and therapy. To realize this aim, we are interested in playing with Nature's building blocks, peptide, protein, DNA and RNA.

Topics of interest:

Fluorescent hairpins, peptide/protein chemistry, aptamer, antibody delivery, antibody mimics
