DNA Nanotechnology

lt;b> Chunhai Fan is a K. C. Wong Chair Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). Before joining SJTU, he was a CAS Distinguished Professor at the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He published over 400 papers in peer-reviewed journals. He is a fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC), an elected fellow of the International Society of Electrochemistry (ISE) and American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). His research interests include DNA nanotechnology, biosensing and bioimaging.
Yonggang Ke is an assistant professor at the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University. He received his Ph.D. degree in chemistry from Arizona State University in 2009. He then worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Cancer Biology at Harvard University from 2009 to 2014. Dr. Ke is one of the leading experts in DNA nanotechnology. His current research focuses on programmable self-assembly of complex nanostructures and dynamic nanomachines using DNA and other biomolecules, functional nanomaterial self-assembly, drug delivery, and single-molecule biophysics.
