Welcome to the Tian Lab
Our mission: Make and use functional molecules to address problems in drug discovery.
Drug discovery increasingly demands molecular technologies that can operate reliably in complex biological environments, enabling precise control over recognition, transport, and function. Our group develops supramolecular technologies and molecular machines to address pharmaceutical challenges that are difficult to solve using conventional approaches. By combining synthetic design, non-equilibrium operation, and biomolecule-compatible chemistry, we aim to create functional systems that can perform sophisticated tasks in biological settings.
Our efforts are directed towards:
1)Investigating supramolecular nanotechnologies to improve drug-like properties
2)Creating biomimetic molecular machines that operate in biological environments
3)Advancing supramolecular and molecular-machine platforms for biomedical applications
