About
Dor Zaguri is a leading researcher in supramolecular materials chemistry, with a primary focus on the self-assembly of small biomolecules into functional nanostructures. Their most cited work, "Rigid Tightly Packed Amino Acid Crystals as Functional Supramolecular Materials" (2019, 95 citations), pioneered the use of aromatic amino acids as building blocks for ordered, rigid crystalline materials. Zaguri demonstrated that these naturally occurring metabolites can form tightly packed supramolecular structures through limited solubility and directed interactions, offering a sustainable and biocompatible alternative to synthetic polymers. This breakthrough has opened new avenues for designing smart materials with applications in sensing, drug delivery, and bioelectronics. By revealing how simple amino acids can organize into robust crystalline frameworks, Zaguri has significantly advanced the field of green materials science. Their work is highly influential among researchers exploring bio-inspired nanomaterials and has been widely cited for its elegant simplicity and practical potential.
