Our group is inspired by biomacromolecules' (e.g., DNA and proteins) ability to leverage supramolecular interactions for structure and function. We seek to develop synthetic, biomimetic polymers that mirror their biological counterparts in some shape or form, while providing meaningful twists that would lead to novel properties or interactions.
We welcome Pepperdine students who are interested in organic chemistry research to inquire. We also welcome collaborations.
