Research at Analytical   DNA Nanotechnology Laboratory (ADNL) is at the interface of bioanalytical   chemistry and DNA nanotechnology. We consider DNA both as important   biomarkers for diverse biological processes and clinical diagnostics and also   as a class of highly programmable engineering material. As such, we are   interested in developing advanced tools for nucleic acid testing and protein   detection at decentralized conditions, such as for point-of-care diagnosis   and field-deployable tests. We are also interested in the fundamentals and   applications of DNA nanotechnology, where we program DNA into diverse   nanodevices and nanomachines with predictable behaviors and function.
