Living organisms rapidly fabricate a range of high performance biopolymeric materials, such as silk, from biomolecular building blocks (e.g. proteins) via bottom-up assembly processes. The goal of the proposed research program is to revolutionize how humans sustainably manufacture materials by elucidating the underlying principles of biological material self-assembly through an innovative and cross-disciplinary approach, with a specific focus on three model systems ¿ the mussel byssus, velvet worm slime fibers and mistletoe viscin fibers. Extracted design principles will be translated to the bio-inspired fabrication of novel polymeric materials utilizing advanced manufacturing methods (e.g. microfluidics) with potential biomedical and technological applications.

生物体通过自下而上的组装过程，从生物分子构建块（例如蛋白质）快速制造一系列高性能生物聚合材料，例如丝绸。拟议研究计划的目标是通过阐明底层材料来彻底改变人类可持续制造材料的方式。通过创新和跨学科方法的生物材料自组装原理，特别关注三个模型系统 ¿贻贝足丝、天鹅绒蠕虫粘液纤维和槲寄生粘素纤维的提取设计原理将转化为利用先进制造方法（例如微流体）仿生制造具有潜在生物医学和技术应用的新型聚合物材料。
