On a fundamental level, Nathaniel Rosi’s group focuses on developing new strategies for assembling chemical building blocks including small molecules, biomolecules, and nanoparticles into functional materials.  The group is particularly interested in using biomolecules to both direct the assembly of such building blocks and to serve as templates for the discovery of new materials.  Ultimately, the group hopes to apply these strategies to target specific materials with unique properties intrinsic to their nanoscale dimensions that make them useful for alternative energy applications (e.g. photovoltaics, gas storage) and therapeutics (e.g. drug delivery, targeted therapies).
