The theme of the SuMo Biomaterial Center research is to elucidate structure and function of supramolecular assemblies. The area lies on the border between nanotechnology, materials science, and biotechnology.

The research areas are deliberately overlapping in order to secure synergisms obtained by interdisciplinary collaboration. The SuMo research is divided into four research modules:

1. Material structure

2. Mathematical and computer modelling

3. Diffusion and flow

4. Material design
