Peoject Title: Synthesis of light-responsive peptide-based nanomaterials for the intracellular formation of condensates

Summary: My project aims to mimic biomolecular condensates and seek to understand how synthetic coiled coil assemblies affect biological processes and to gain a deeper understanding of their functional implications. In this context, I am developing a novel system for light-induced intracellular self-assembly, to achieve the stimulus-responsive formation of artificial condensates inside cancer cells.
