DNA is the iconic molecule of biology because it stores our genetic information. Since the starts of the organisms genome projects, the biotech industry has made extraordinary progress to produce short sequences of oligonucleotides and even more progress to sequence DNA.

DNA is becoming not only a genetic material but also a generic material for rational design of nanostructures.
Our current projects explore the use of DNA to build up functional materials. Our experimental methods are based on the measurement of the thermodynamic properties of the constructed materials.
