Welcome to Michael Tam’s research group website

Our research focuses on the development and applications of functional colloids and polymeric nanostructures in chemical and biomedical applications. We design well-defined polymeric materials, study their interactions and behavior in the presence of biological and synthetic molecules, and explore their potential in a variety of applications. We are looking for dynamic individuals who have the passion to unravel the science and engineering of these novel materials.
