Presenter 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. In addition to carrying genetic information, DNA is increasingly being explored for its use as a building material. This new process is called DNA origami because… Continue reading William Shih | Fully addressable microstructures self-assembled from crisscrossed DNA-origami slats
Summary Linda Sapochak shares insights on the National Science Foundation’s Division of Materials Research – what has been done, what projects are ongoing, and opportunities for the future. The new director Dr. Panchanathan has bold plans for the future of DMR and several key programs will be instrumental in carrying them out – the Materials… Continue reading NSF Division of Materials Research: Where Materials Begin and Society Benefits | Linda Sapochak, NSF
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 Three speakers shared their opinion on the underappreciated opportunities in the aging industry and work that is currently not well incentivized but could dramatically advance progress. Mike West discussed the need for treatments of chronic degenerative diseases associated with aging and the potential of partial reprogramming for induced tissue regeneration. Karl Pfleger described the… Continue reading Aging industry blindspots | S Arrison, 100 Plus Capital, K Pfleger, AgingBiotech.info, M West, AgeX

The first proposal of a path from then current technology to the ability to fabricate complex materials and devices by placing the atoms where you want them was made by Richard Feynman in 1959: “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom“, but see also this series “Feynman Path to Nanotechnology“. The second proposal to achieve… Continue reading Unrelated de novo enzyme replaces essential enzyme in cell
Computer designed networks of hydrogen bonds allow programming specific interactions of protein interfaces, facilitating programming molecular recognition.
A trimeric protein was designed to self assemble into a 60 unit icosahedron with a roomy interior that might find use to ferry molecular cargo into cells or as a chemical reactor.
Computational design of an enzyme that carboligates three one-carbon molecules to form one three-carbon molecule, an activity that does not exist in nature, provides proof-of-principle for a novel metabolic pathway for carbon fixation.
