87th New England Complex Fluids workshop to be hosted by Brandeis University on Sep 24, 2021.
The virus trap: Hollow nano-objects made of DNA could trap viruses and render them harmless
Researchers engulf and neutralize viruses with nano-capsules tailored from genetic material using the DNA origami method. The strategy has already been tested against hepatitis and adeno-associated viruses in cell cultures. It may also prove successful against corona viruses.
Congratulations to our new PhDs:
