Research Overview
My research group focuses on using state-of-the-art peptide and protein chemistries to manipulate biological systems, including (1) development of multifunctional antibodies for immunotherapy; (2) chemical manipulation of cell behaviour for cell-based therapeutic development; and (3) chemical modification of functional proteins for diseases detection and treatment
