Proteins are monodisperse polymers that fold into a specific nanoscale structure.  These state-of-art nanoscale machineries exert highly precise mechanical motions and process environmental inputs by the combination of allosteric effects. My research focuses on finding interdisciplinary solutions for designing a library of functional protein materials, mainly from the design principles in supramolecular chemistry, molecular biology, and polymer science.  In this symposium, I will discuss the efforts in designing protein-based macromolecular architectures in multiple dimensions, understanding their property for the therapeutic application, and in situ synthesis of extracellular protein network by living organisms for generating engineered living materials.
