Biocatalysis for Antiviral prevention
Iron-sulfur clusters functions in the innate system
Spatial and temporal control of nanocage for targeted therapy and prevention
We are engineering natural innate immunity to develop radically new antiviral preventive strategies.
We study how iron-sulfur (FeS) proteins and clusters regulate immune system and antiviral innate immunity.
We are engineering ferritin nanocage for spatial and temporal control of its assembly and application in nanomedicine.
Our laboratory and Collaborators

The laboratory has all the facilities for cloning, expression, and purification of a wide range of proteins. The lab is equipped with an anaerobic glovebox to work with oxygen-sensitive iron-sulfur proteins, a state-of-the-art system for running western blots, and a dedicated LC-MS system to study enzyme reactions. We have access to state-of-the-art research facilities including a fully equipped cell culture lab, modern protein and western blot imaging system, UV-visible spectrophotometers, and NMR facility.
​
Our laboratory leads a European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action crossing boundaries of bioinorganic chemistry and immunology (read more). We collaborate with various groups in the United Kingdom and across Europe.
