Ten Years of DNA Origami Symposium

The publication of Paul Rothemund's paper on DNA origami (Nature, March 16, 2006) marked a turning point in DNA nanotechnology, enabling unprecedented control over designed molecular structures.  This symposium is intended to honor Paul Rothemund's contribution to the field and to survey the spectrum of inspiring research that it has lead to — and perhaps to give a glimmer of what is yet to come.

Talks will cover DNA nanotechnology, self-assembly and pattern formation, computational algorithms and software for origami design and analysis, applications in biology and biomedicine, applications in quantum physics, molecular motors and mechanical devices, biophysics and thermodynamics and kinetics, and more.
