Scope of Symposium

This symposium provides a platform to discuss and present the latest developments in the exciting area of DNA nanoscience and physics. Specifically, the symposium shall focus on biophysical methods to understand the structure, dynamics and functional mechanisms of DNA from the level of the single molecule to the assembling in dense phases such as in viruses and chromatin. Another aspect of the symposium is the application of this knowledge to the design of nano-devices of technological importance based on the unique self-assembling properties of nucleic acids.
