Title: Linker-mediated assembly: from colloidal LEGOs to COVID testing

Speaker: Professor Ran NI(Nanyang Technological University)

Time: 16:00 PM on November 3, 2026

Location: C2-a201, GuangzhouInternational Campus,SCUT

Abstract

In this talk, I will present our recent work on linker-mediated designed assembly, including the linker-mediated addressable assembly of DNA-coated colloids , and the superselectivity in the linker-mediated adsorption of DNA coated colloids . I will discuss how we can use linkers as a smart agent to realise the designed precise fabrication on the nano scale as well as to design new sensors for detecting biomarkers , e.g., COVID.
