We are a new research group at the intersection of organic materials and chemical biology. Our focus is on synthetic polymers that are inspired by, and mimic, those found in the natural world. Integrating techniques from organic chemistry, 高分子科学, 和微生物学, we will build materials with potential to illuminate new opportunities in macromolecular science. 目前, we are investigating how polymer stereochemistry influences function and how synthetic materials can positively impact the human microbiome.
In the lab, classroom, and beyond, we celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion. Systemic racism and harmful biases pervade society, and academic research is not immune. Our team strives to break down these barriers, supports members who face them, and acts as effective allies in the broader community. We welcome all who are excited by experimental interdisciplinary science, especially those with identities that have been historically excluded from STEM. 教学 and mentoring always center inclusivity to foster an environment where everyone can succeed. We know that the only way to tackle society’s hardest challenges is to empower the creativity, 人才, and backgrounds of all people.
