José M. Rivera focuses on studying the interactions between molecules within supramolecular complexes, a key aspect of supramolecular chemistry. This field explores the ways molecules behave and interact in various environments. His research is dedicated to uncovering basic principles of how synthetic supramolecules are structured and behave in complex biological settings. Understanding these interactions has the potential to significantly benefit human health in the long term.
