Talk: Tiny tools and smart DNA
This event is part of the Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition 2025.
Join Dr Ioanna Mela, chemical engineer and Royal Society University Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge, as she reveals how tiny DNA nanostructures are being designed to precisely target bacteria and deliver antimicrobial agents. These microscopic marvels could boost the impact of existing antibiotics and offers a new promising way to combat antibiotic resistance, a growing global health challenge.
