This researcher works at the intersection of materials science and biology, designing protein-based nanoparticles (such as protein cages, ferritin, and virus-like particles) that can encapsulate enzymes or minerals for uses in drug delivery, biosynthesis, and understanding biological processes. The work also includes creating metal nanoparticles (gold) attached to drug molecules to enhance antibacterial and anticancer effects.
