Keating Group Research Overview

Since the early days of synthetic chemistry, researchers have sought to create new molecules and to understand the relationship between their structure and function. Today the Keating research group seeks to understand the relationships between structure and function for nano- to microscale objects and assemblies. Armed with this understanding, we hope to solve current problems in medicine, device manufacturing, and cell biology.
