NanoSmells: Artificial remote-controlled odorants (NanoSmell)
Start date: Sep 1, 2015, End date: Aug 31, 2019,
"Despite years of promise, an odor-emitting component in devices such as televisions, phones, computers and more has yet to be developed. Two major obstacles in the way of such development are poor understanding of the olfactory code (the link between odorant structure, neural activity, and odor perception), and technical inability to emit odors in a reversible manner. Here we propose a novel mult ...

Molecular Robots Exhibiting Collective Behaviours (MRECB)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2018,
Cells carry out biochemical and physiological functions in the body by intricately controlling the position and activity of matter at the nanoscale. In contrast, our ability to exert equivalent spatiotemporal control over therapeutic molecules is extremely inadequate. That is the reason why although we have very effective therapeutics, their use is often limited by excess toxicity and adverse effe ...

Logical re-routing of cellular communication networks by DNA origami nanorobot (DNA NANO-ROUTERS)
Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,
Almost every aspect of higher organism biology such as metabolism, growth and immunity, is regulated by intricate communication networks between multiple cell types. The ability to skew or interfere with these networks could lead to new ways to alleviate diseases caused or maintained by the interacting cells. However, since these cells are often dispersed across the entire organism, precise modula ...
