Guanglu Lab
We Take Advantage of the Communication between Molecules!
Guanglu Wu is currently a PI and professor of supramolecular chemistry at State Key Laboratory of Supramolecular Structure and Materials, College of Chemistry, Jilin University.
His research focuses on the complexity of supramolecular multicomponent systems, encompassing systematic studies from construction strategies and assembly mechanisms to functional regulation. In particular, he investigates thermodynamically and kinetically driven structural evolution and dynamic behavior, aiming to deepen the understanding of structure–function relationships in complex molecular systems and to enable the rational design of functional materials.
