DNA nanotechnology with Dr Andrew J Lee

This week we took a slight detour away from our normal topic of conversation (Genomics) and immersed ourselves into the world of DNA nanotechnology with Dr Andrew J Lee, the centre manager of the Bragg Centre for materials research. Andy is a weaver of DNA and nanoscale filmaker in the Bioelectronics group. He develops nanostructures that are self assembled from DNA molecules to template, control and study a variety of single biological entities and inorganic processes. We spoke about Andrews academic background, what DNA nanotechnology is, its methods AND its applications. This episode was so fascinating and Andy explains a very complex topic in a very simple and accessible way! If you're keen to hear more about DNA origami and smiley face emojis made out of DNA, then stay tuned!
