Engineering diagnostic tests with DNA Nanocubes Grzędowski, Adrian

Description

Adrian Grzedowski was a semi-finalist in the 2024 UBC Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. Adrian presented their research, "Engineering Diagnostic Tests with DNA Nanocubes". They hope to revolutionize medical diagnostics by developing quick and accessible tests that can be conducted at any family doctor's office, providing results within minutes. However, challenges such as shelf-life stability and accuracy need to be addressed. Adrian's research focuses on improving these simple tests using nano-cubes made entirely of DNA. These nano-cubes serve as a powerful tool for organizing disease-detecting components, thereby speeding up testing time and increasing stability. Adrian's work has the potential to make quicker medical tests available to a wider population. Adrian Grzedowski is pursuing their PhD in Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Dan Bizzotto.
