The lab builds nanosystems that use DNA as programmable components.
AboutAbout the lab
Building nanosystems with DNA as components
The DNA Nanosystem Lab studies systems that use DNA, the blueprint of life, as molecular-scale components and combine it with nanotechnology.
It works on topics such as DNA nanodevices, which are built on precisely structured nano-interfaces and amplify and output a signal in response to specific biomolecules.
The lab also works on DNA nanomachines that walk across the surface of nanoparticles using biomolecules as fuel, and on DNA computing, which treats DNA base sequences as information.
Such systems are considered useful for point-of-care testing (POCT), which allows disease-related biological substances to be examined simply and on the spot from a tiny amount of sample.
Key terms
- DNA nanomachine
- A tiny machine made of DNA. Examples include ones that walk across the surface of nanoparticles using biomolecules as fuel, without external energy
- DNA computing
- Research that treats the base sequences of DNA or RNA as information and uses them for computation and information processing
- Point-of-care testing (POCT)
- Diagnostics that detect disease-related biological substances simply and quickly, on the spot, from a very small sample, in clinical settings or at home

ResearchResearch themes
The lab views DNA as a programmable, molecular-scale component and studies "DNA nanosystems" that combine it with nanotechnology. These systems are considered useful for point-of-care testing in clinical settings, at home, and elsewhere.
