Nadrian C. Seeman
Nadrian C. "Ned" Seeman (December 16, 1945 – November 16, 2021) was an American Nanotechnology, nanotechnologist and crystallography, crystallographer known for inventing the field of DNA nanotechnology. Biography Seeman studied biochemistry at the University of Chicago and crystallography at the University of Pittsburgh. He became a faculty member at the State University of New York at Albany, and in 1988 moved to the Department of Chemistry at New York University. He is most noted for his development of the concept of DNA nanotechnology beginning in the early 1980s. In fall 1980, while at a campus pub, Seeman was inspired by the M. C. Escher woodcut ''Depth'' to realize that a three-dimensional lattice could be constructed from DNA. He realized that this could be used to orient target molecules, simplifying their crystallographic study by eliminating the difficult process of obtaining pure crystals. In pursuit of this goal, Seeman's laboratory published the synthesis of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
