Who We Are

Dr. Seah Ling Kuan

Group Leader

ORCID

My group is interested to develop new synthetic methodologies and prepare synthetic proteins to find new treatments for devastating diseases such as lung cancer and infectious diseases.

Ali Rouhanipour

Engineer

Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry

Lujuan Xu

PhD Student

CSC Scholar, "Precision Protein Nanostructures by Chemical Design"

I would like to design and assemble different proteins in a defined and controlled fashion with chemical methodology in a site-selective manner to achieve multifaceted proteins with new functions.

Astrid Heck

PhD student

"Supramolecular Fusion Toxins"

My project is to come up with chemical strategies to design precise therapeutic proteins for addressing biological problems. For example, to heal patients suffering from infectious diseases or after a trauma.

Michael Müller

PhD student

"Chemiluminescent Protein Hybrids for Biomedical Applications"

I work on creating chemiluminescent biohybrid materials for applications in photodynamic therapy.

Darijan Schüler

PhD student

"Protein Therapeutics for Oncotherapy by Chemical Design"

My project is to design smart therapeutic proteins to modulate microenvironment of sites of terminal diseases. For example, to find new treatments for patients with metastatic pancreatic or breast cancers.

Bellinda Lantzberg

Masters student

"Smart Protein Conjugates via Dynamic Covalent Chemistry"

I am developing new strategies to prepare responsive protein conjugates via dynamic covalent chemistry.
