Presenter Yuanning Feng Yuanning was born in Dandong, Liaoning and grew up in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. After obtaining the gold medal of the National Chemistry Olympiad of China, he started his undergraduate studies at Tsinghua University with an Outstanding Incoming Student Fellowship. Yuanning worked as an undergraduate… Read More Molecular Replication Process Drives Supramolecular Polymerization… Continue reading Yuanning Feng | A Molecular Replication Process Drives Supramolecular Polymerization

Summary David’s work led him to analyze how biological molecular machines behave and copy their fundamental philosophy using artificial constructs. His unbiased approach does not presuppose any definite end goal, but rather he is exploring what machines and are possible in the nano universe. Rather than shrinking down large scale mechanisms, he believes we should… Continue reading David Leigh, University of Manchester | Q&A on Molecular Machines

Presenters Job Boekhoven, Tech. Universität München Job Boekhoven holds an undergraduate degree in chemistry from the University of Groningen, where he majored in organic chemistry, and a PhD degree (2012) in chemistry from Delft University of Technology, both in the Netherlands. Before his appointment at TUM, he was a Rubicon postdoctoral fellow at Northwestern University… Continue reading Job Boekhoven, Tech.

Presenters William Shih, Harvard University William is overseeing an effort to apply Synthetic Biology approaches to the development of self-assembling DNA nanostructures and devices for use in biomedical applications. To achieve structures of even greater complexity, his laboratory is pioneering methods for hierarchical assembly of these particles into three-dimensional networks with site-specific control over chemical… Continue reading Molecular Detection via DNA Nanotech & Neural Nets | William Shih, Harvard & Lulu Qian, Caltech

Summary David Baker from the University of Washington presents breakthrough advancements in de novo protein design. Deep learning pattern recognition hallucinates the desired protein structure and also generates the correct peptide sequence for accurate folding, and predicted proteins are highly transferable to actual proteins produced in a lab. Results are easily transferable to the production… Continue reading Protein-based Assemblies and Molecular Machines | David Baker, University of Washington

Summary Professor James Tour of Rice University presents a novel molecular robot that was developed thanks to crucial experimental work with Robert Pal of Durham University that targets a specific cell, and then drills into and through the cell wall causing the cell guts to spill out. Preliminary targets are either a cancerous cell or… Continue reading Molecular Machines: Applied in Medicine & Across Scales | J. Tour, Rice | N. Giuseppone, Strasbourg
