1. Podcast with Dr. Viktorija Glembockyte

On this episode the team talks with Dr. Viktorija Glembockyte, a postdoc in the Tinnefeld lab at Ludwig-Maximilians University. Her research focuses on how we can make highly sensitive diagnostic tools for a variety of biomolecules using DNA origami to merge sensing with signal amplification. She describes how her scientific and management skills have grown from her time in a hardcore chemistry lab, to now starting her own independent group.

Viktorija Glembockyte obtained her bachelors in chemistry at Jacobs University Bremen and her PhD with Gonzalo Cosa at McGil University before joining the lab of Phillip Tinnefeld at Ludwigs-Maximillians University to work on modular nanosensors based on DNA origami where she developed multiple modular platforms for single-molecule biosensing. She is now a junior group leader at LMU and is currently planning her next career move later this year.

2. Reading group closing survey

During the seven weeks’ journey reading the DNA computing papers in the early years recommended by prof. Erik Winfree. As the reading group has come to an end, it would be great to gather some feedback and thoughts from you for future events. If you would like to tell us anything, please fill in this survey.

3. Recruiting: team member!

The team is looking for new members helping to organize the events and co-shape the future of . In you are interested, please get in touch!
