Designed short peptides can self-assemble into different nanostructures (such as nanoparticles, nanofibrils and hydrogels) through weak interactions and have a variety of applications. This PhD project will investigate the self-assembly of different carefully designed short peptides, understand their self-assembly mechanisms and explore their potential applications in tissue engineering, antimicrobial, anticancer, and drug/gene delivery. The student will be trained to use modern techniques such as AFM, TEM, dynamic light scattering, Langmuir trough, CD spectroscopy and relevant cell assays to tackle this interesting project.
