Heddle Lab
DNA is not just an information storage molecule it is also a highly programmable structural material that can be easily designed to form useful shapes and even programmable robots. In our lab we harness this potential of DNA and combine in with other biomolecules like lipids and protein to produce nanoscale devices capable of various functions including biological material manipulation, motion, and modulation of immune system.
