How DNA Nano-Robots are Changing the World w/ Dr. Kosuri ∞ MAXDEPTH

Episode Summary

Dr. Pallav Kosuri received his Ph.D from Columbia, his PostDoc from Harvard, and completed his thesis at CERN. Now he works at the Salk Institute in La Jolla working in a field called DNA Origami. If you have never heard of it, you are in for a wild ride. Essentially, they are constructing nano-scale devices made from DNA to measure previously unseen molecular motion with an almost infinite array of applications. 0:00 Introduction 8:30 The Silos of Science are Destructive 11:40 A Necessary Biology Review 23:00 Resurrecting Mammoths 32:45 The Road to Modern DNA Origami 40:00 DNA Origami Applications 53:15 Current Work
