This award funds research on DNA nanotechnology to create multifunctional drug delivery systems and 3D DNA crystal scaffolds for advanced structural biology applications, including drug screening and treatment of multisystemic diseases.
Description
The project aims to develop robust, multifunctional drug delivery platforms for treating multisystemic diseases and design 3D DNA crystals as scaffolds for X-ray structure determination using Serial Femtosecond X-ray Crystallography (SFX). The research extends beyond a single disease, with potential applications in drug screening and structural biology.
