Strategic Objectives
• Master the complex fluid dynamics of low Reynolds number environments.
• Unlock the secrets of flagellar and ciliary biological motors.
• Design synthetic appendages that mimic the efficiency of evolution.
• Architect the future of autonomous, targeted drug delivery systems.
The Core Challenge
Traditional propulsion fails in the viscous world of the microscopic, leaving a gap in targeted medical and industrial technology.
