Growth and Site-specific Organization of Micro-scale Bimolecular Devices on Living Mammalian Cells

Unmet Need: One aspect of a cell’s function is its ability to form organized structures both within the cell and with its immediate surrounding environment. On cell surfaces, these nanostructures can serve as scaffolds or operate functionally to aid in cellular fate decisions, signal amplification and cellular cross-talk. There is a need to understand...

Method to form DNA hydrogels and shape changing devices and actuators

Unmet NeedMaterials and devices capable of changing their shape are critical to the function of soft robots, programmable matter, and smart therapeutics. Many ‘smart’ materials and devices feature a stimulus-responsive architecture that allows for the shrinking or swelling of designated regions under controlled conditions. These mechanical deformations...

DNA Oligonucleotide Buffers

Unmet Need: A topic of research interest in the near past has been utilizing DNA as data storage, process information, and even use DNA in logic circuits. However, these applications require precise control over the chemical process responsible for storing, accessing and deleting data. Since the rate of a chemical process is usually dependent on the...
