To achieve the best energy, time and catalytic performance of biological systems, nature has developed remarkable strategies that rely on self-assembly, structural hierarchy and synergetic properties of individual structural components. These strategies motivate us to conduct bio-inspired research to create molecules and strategies that follow biological examples for specific applications. Our research program aims the fundamental understanding of the underlying mechanisms in the self-assembly of functional systems towards two specific themes: 1) anion transporters to target cell membranes and 2) non covalent interactions in catalysis. These strategies will be used to generate smart supramolecular systems based on our strong expertise in self-assembly, transmembrane transport, organic and bio-organic areas.

为了实现生物系统的最佳能量、时间和催化性能，大自然已经开发出依赖于自组装、结构层次和各个结构组件的协同特性的卓越策略。这些策略激励我们进行仿生研究，以创建遵循特定应用的生物学实例的分子和策略。我们的研究计划旨在从根本上了解功能系统自组装的基本机制，以实现两个特定主题：1）目标细胞膜的阴离子转运蛋白和2）催化中的非共价相互作用。基于我们在自组装、跨膜运输、有机和生物有机领域的强大专业知识，这些策略将用于生成智能超分子系统。
