Nucleic acids are the most basic molecules of life, being tasked with storing and transmitting genetic information in all living organisms. Both DNA and RNA are composed of fundamental building blocks that each include a nucleobase (A, G, C, T/U), sugar ([deoxy]ribose), and phosphate moiety. To enhance nucleic acid programmability and stability, and aid the formation of functional 3D shapes,...

Hypoxia is a characteristic pathophysiological property of advanced solid tumours which influences aggressiveness and resistance to treatment. Real-time measurement of tumour oxygenation is thus vital for stratifying treatment plans by hypoxic severity and monitoring variations in partial pressure of oxygen (pO$_2$) caused by high energy X-ray and other photonic therapies. Azobenzene...

Understanding and controlling structural organization mechanisms is a key challenge in producing synthetic materials that mimic the complexity seen in organisms. This talk will present recent advances in controlling the local organization of colloidal building blocks, and a "pre-assembly" approach to produce hierarchically-structured materials.
