Biomolecular Design

Biomolecular design refers to the process of creating new molecules and materials that mimic or interact with biological systems.

Types of Research

Biomolecules are typically complex organic molecules that play important roles in biological processes, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. Biomaterials are materials that are designed to interact with biological systems, such as implants, scaffolds, and drug delivery systems. The design of biomolecular and biomaterial systems involves understanding the structure and function of biological molecules and systems, as well as applying principles of chemistry, physics, and engineering to create new materials and molecules that can be used in a variety of applications, such as medicine, biotechnology, and materials science.
