πŸ‘‹ Welcome to the Lab of Synthetic Biopharmaceutics

We are a multidisciplinary team working at the intersection of **synthetic biology**, **DNA/RNA nanotechnology**, and **targeted drug delivery**. Our mission is to develop programmable molecular systems for precision immunotherapy and intracellular control.


🧠 Research Focus

   We create pH-responsive peptide–DNA materials that self-assemble in acidic tumor microenvironments to cluster death receptors (e.g., TRAIL-R) and induce apoptosis.
