Research

We are interested in an interdisciplinary field between systems engineering (especially robotics) and nano-bio engineering. Varieties of systems, from the nanoscale to macroscale, have been developed using DNA Nanoengineering and Molecular Programming as core technologies with a wide range of nano- and micro-scale technologies, such as microfluidics. 

Machines & Robots
