DNA-based nanodevices for molecular medicine
Aalto University
Furthermore, the researchers from Aalto University and University of Jyväskylä have recently shown how DNA origamis can be used in efficient fabrication of custom-shaped metal nanoparticles that could be used in various fields of material sciences. Groundbreaking approach to create nanomaterials The research group lead by Professor Mauri Kostiainen works extensively with DNA nanostructures, and the group has just recently published two research articles regarding DNA-based applications in biotechnology and molecular medicine. ### Article in Trends in Biotechnology: V. Linko, A. Ora, M. A. Kostiainen, DNA Nanostructures as Smart Drug-Delivery Vehicles and Molecular Devices. Virus-protein -coated DNA origami nanostructures.
