My research focuses around developing engineered recombinant proteins for material and biomaterial applications, which is relevant for instance for novel regenerative treatments or for tissue engineering, but also for technical applications.

I primarily work with proteins from extracellular enamel matrix, in particular the protein amelogenin and engineered variants thereof. Amelogenin can self-assemble and form different types of nanostructures which have properties that interesting to explore in material applications. Amelogenin can also template strukture and organization of mineral crystal at nano- and micro scales, which is interesting for development of novel nanostructured mineral-based materials, both for medical and technological applications.
