Research Abstract
DNA is used in nature as a biological material of choice to store and transfer information. RNA, on the other hand, can fold into intricate three dimensional structures and is used for enzymatic catalysis and gene expression and regulation. Recently nucleic acids have been designed to assemble into a multitude of structures, and proved to be a perfect material to study the process of controlled self-assembly. My interests lie in understanding the principles of nucleic acid structure formations. Our group is also interested in the novel properties of hybrid nucleic acid/inorganic materials.
