Cooperative behaviour

Supramolecular therapeutics

Our research involves rational peptide design and synthesis for tailored nanomaterial self-assembly

Cytotoxic agents whose action is controlled by self-assembly. The reversible (dis)assembly of cytotoxic peptides regulates their antimicrobial and antitumoral action in response to environmental and biological stimuli.
