Based on a quantitative understanding of biomolecular interactions as well as modern AI tools, we use nucleic acid nanotechnology and protein design to create a new level of sophistication in biomolecular design. Our goals range from controlling molecular self-organization to recreating life from the bottom up, and programming cells for sensing, computation, actuation and therapeutics.
