Scholar-generated biography
Renxun Chen's research focuses on the development and application of antimicrobial agents, particularly antimicrobial peptides, in the context of biomaterials and chemistry. Their work explores the synthesis, characterization, and in vitro activity of surface-attached antimicrobial peptides, such as melimine, and their interactions with bacterial membranes. Chen investigates the clinical potential of antimicrobial peptides, including their use in coatings for titanium implants and contact lenses, as well as their role in quorum sensing inhibition and biofilm prevention. Their research also includes the design of hydrogels and polymeric nanoparticles for co-delivery of antibiotics and nitric oxide, aiming to combat bacterial infections and improve biomedical applications.
