[Zhenyu Han @Hanzhenyu]

Excited to share my latest work in @J_A_C_S, in which we extend the principles of colloidal crystal engineering to biological building blocks and introduce a new DNA design that gives the best crystallinity of DNA-guided nanoparticle assemblies thus far

[International Institute for Nanotechnology @IINanoNU]

New from the Mirkin Lab in JACS: “Inverse design of DNA-programmable protein colloidal crystals.”

DNA hybridization guides proteins into programmable crystalline lattices with tunable structure and size.

CRISPR’s efficiency triples with a new spherical nucleic acid delivery system from Chad Mirkin’s lab.  

Published today in PNAS.

@yukunl2 @ProfDravid @nuancecenter @IINanoNU 👏👍

[Northwestern Chemistry @NUChemistry]

New research from @CHADNANO and first author @Hanzhenyu reveals a reversible, strain-promoted polymerization process within cyclic #DNA.

Recently published in @ScienceAdvances it opens doors to creating materials with extraordinary properties.

@meschott @NUChemistry @CHADNANO @ScienceAdvances Thank you Peggy! Hope you are doing well!

[Zhenyu Han @Hanzhenyu]

@yukunl2 @J_A_C_S @ProfDravid @MercouriK Wow congratulations!!

[Zhenyu Han @Hanzhenyu]

@zifei_lu @ScienceAdvances @CHADNANO Thank you Zifei!

[Zhenyu Han @Hanzhenyu]

🧬DNA is the genetic blueprint of life, but it can also be made into functional materials.🧬
In @ScienceAdvances, we report an unusual biophysical property of DNA and how it can be harnessed to make degradable polymers. @CHADNANO

@yukunl2 @ScienceAdvances @CHADNANO Thanks Yukun ;)

[Thomas Li @ThomasLiHK]

Thank you so much Henry! All of this would not have been possible without your patient guidance in lab and beyond!

[Zhenyu Han @Hanzhenyu]

My friend & mentee @ThomasLiHK is graduating NU with honors and induction to Phi Beta Kappa. So proud of you and thx for the memories @MirkinGroupNU. Can’t wait to see what your future holds @UCB_Chemistry! @CHADNANO @ItsBenPartridge

[Zhenyu Han @Hanzhenyu]

@AlexSolivan @NorthwesternU Congratulations! See you next time!

[Alex Solivan @AlexSolivan]

Let’s go Fiona! Y’all have a superstar in the making over there!

Many thanks to Chi Huang, @m_evangelo and @CHADNANO - without them this work won't be possible. @MirkinGroupNU @IINanoNU

[Zhenyu Han @Hanzhenyu]

A central challenge in the use of CRISPR lies in its delivery across different cells and tissues. In @J_A_C_S we show that surface modification of Cas9 proteins enables efficient delivery and gene editing w/o transfection reagent: https://t.co/VrFRI6sgyh
