“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.
Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.”

Marie Curie

Our Vision

Our research vision is to advance the fields of drug delivery and antimicrobial therapy by pioneering innovative biomolecular approaches that address pressing global health challenges. We aspire to develop bioinspired models that not only enhances the oral delivery of peptide-based therapeutics but also serves as a versatile platform for tissue engineering. Concurrently, we aim to design novel antimicrobial peptides that provide effective alternatives to conventional antibiotics, specifically targeting resistant infections and microbial biofilms.

Our Mission

By integrating cutting-edge techniques in synthetic biology and peptide science, our goal is to create transformative solutions that improve patient outcomes and advance the frontiers of biotechnology. We are committed to fostering a collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment that encourages innovation, mentorship, and responsible research practices, ultimately contributing to a sustainable and healthier future for society.

“Science is not only a disciple of reason,
but, also, one of romance and passion.”

Stephen Hawking
