NIST DNA as a Model for Self-Assembling Nanoscale Systems

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

Self-assembly methods have the potential to integrate heterogeneous nanoscale objects to create multifunctional systems, with applications ranging from environmental sensing to theranostics. DNA is an ideal system with which to investigate the potential of self-assembly because of its programmability, versatility, and availability. We are integrating DNA nanostructures with silicon electronics to create devices that deliver novel functionality that cannot be achieved using silicon or DNA alone. We also investigate the limits of d...

Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
