Hello, I'm Will Hughes,
the associate dean
of the College of Innovation
and Design
at Boise State University.
(Describer) Title: Ask a Scientist – Nanotechnology.
♪
I think a nanomaterial
that would be useful
for medicine,
going forward, is DNA--
the DNA inside our body,
and synthetic DNA
used for both doing diagnostics
as well as theranostics
for a host of diseases
that range from cancer
all the way to heart disease
and many, many others.
DNA can be used by
engineering it into circuits,
which can be used
for detecting disease
as well as doing computation
on biological systems.
