The vision of BioNEC is to revolutionize bottom-up nanoscale engineering by integrating state-of-the-art lipid, peptide and carbohydrate chemistry with nucleic acid based self-assembly.
We will design and synthesize building blocks for controlled assembly of unique and functional nanostructures in solution, on surfaces, and on cells.
Within BioNEC, the assembled nanostructures will be explored to solve concrete scientific challenges relating to synthetic chemistry and biological recognition processes.
The center is based on a strong scientific foundation offered by the following research groups:
