About
Dr. Trinh Thi-Phuong Ho investigates the intricate intersection of protein self-assembly and covalent bond formation, with a primary focus on engineering advanced silk fibroin hydrogels. Her most-cited work, "Probing the Interplay of Protein Self‐Assembly and Covalent Bond Formation in Photo‐Crosslinked Silk Fibroin Hydrogels" (2024, 17 citations), reveals a critical insight: while photo-crosslinking silk fibroin via native tyrosine residues creates promising materials for biomedical, optical, soft robotics, and sensor applications, their structural and mechanical properties degrade over time. By elucidating this instability, Dr. Ho’s research provides a foundational understanding necessary to design more durable, functional protein-based materials. Her contributions bridge fundamental polymer physics and applied materials science, offering a roadmap for stabilizing next-generation hydrogels. With growing citation impact, Dr. Ho’s work is essential reading for researchers developing smart, responsive biomaterials. Her findings challenge the field to move beyond simple crosslinking strategies, emphasizing the need to control dynamic protein interactions for long-term performance.
