Had a fantastic time at the CeNS retreat at Lake Spitzingsee! 🚀 Great scientific talks and posters, valuable feedback from Barbara Beege/Sprachraum, insights from@lfmilles.bsky.social, and an unforgettable night sleigh ride! ❄️✨ #CeNSRetreat #Science #Networking

Fully addressable designer superstructures assembled from one single modular DNA origami - Nature Communications Methods for creating large DNA assemblies with low cost and enhanced structural control are of interest. Here, the authors report moDON (modular DNA origami nanostructure) that combines two approaches...

📣NEW PAPER ALERT ⚠️

Finally out in Nature Communications, after unfortunately spending almost 1 year under review at Nature Materials 🤐
But very very pround of this work that was spearheaded by extremely talented PhD student Moritz Weck:
