- Presentation By Dr. Risheng Wang
- Dr. Wang’s research is in DNA engineering and Nanotechnology
- Introduction to Nanotechnology
- History of Nanotechnology
- First theorized by Richard Feynman
- Over 1 Million jobs
- Over $1 trillion in the field
- Multiple strands can be joined together
- DNA is folded into shapes
- Nanostructures and nanorobots can be used to deliver drugs straight to the problem
- Building Plasmonic Nanostructures with DNA
- Scaffolds are made with DNA that serve at docking points for the golden nanoparticles
- Nanotechnology as a Drug delivery System
- DNA origami is used to carry DOX
- There are no bad side effects from using these nanostructures to deliver the DOX
