Our Research

Using nature’s self-assembly principles, we design and build nanoscale architectures with RNA and DNA.

Creating nanostructures with DNA and RNA

Developing single-molecule detection

To probe the rich heterogeneity of natural systems, we design single-molecule methods based on fluorescence and solid-state nanopore sensing.

Ultimately, we seek to combine supramolecular chemistry and state-of-the-art single-molecule analysis to understand natural systems, towards new diagnostics.
