Research Themes

Designing delivery systems for the brain.

We develop lipid and polymeric nanoparticles for therapeutic delivery to the brain. Our work connects formulation and process development with nanoparticle characterization, in vivo evaluation, and traumatic brain injury (TBI) model development.

지질·고분자 나노입자를 활용한 뇌 전달을 연구합니다. 제형·제조 공정 개발, 나노입자 특성 분석, 동물실험 평가와 외상성 뇌손상(TBI) 모델 개발을 연결합니다.

RESEARCH FOCUS
Nanoparticle engineering, brain delivery, and disease models.

Turning pathological aggregates into screening platforms.

We build nanoparticle–amyloid platforms to identify compounds that disrupt disease-associated protein aggregates. Our work spans Aβ, α-synuclein, and tau, linking optical screening with the study of aggregate disassembly.

Aβ, α-synuclein, tau 응집체와 나노입자를 결합한 플랫폼으로 응집체를 해체하는 후보물질을 탐색하고, 작용 기전을 연구합니다.

RESEARCH FOCUS
Screening assays, aggregate-disassembling compounds, and mechanistic insight.

Building selective interfaces for complex samples.

We integrate biological membranes, proteins, and nanomaterials to develop selective sensing and filtration interfaces. Inspired by cellular functions, these systems aim to distinguish target molecules and reduce interference in complex environments.

세포막과 단백질의 선택성을 나노소재에 구현합니다. 복잡한 시료에서 표적을 구별하고 비특이적 간섭을 줄이는 바이오센서와 여과 계면을 개발합니다.
