On this episode of the molpigs Podcast we introduce the new members of the molpigs team and re-introduce the long-term hosts, Boya Wang and Erik Poppleton. Hannah and Georgeos have stepped down from …

On this episode the molpigs team talks with Viktorija Glembockyte, a postdoc in the Tinnefeld lab at Ludwig-Maximilians University. Her research focuses on how we can make highly sensitive diagnostic…

On this episode the molpigs team talks with Jacob Majikes, the ‘boring materials physics’ expert of the DNA origami field. We discuss the incentive structures of the field, Hatch Act violations*, and…

In this episode of the molpigs podcast, Hannah, Boya and Erik talk with Zibo Chen, a new professor at Westlake University about his scientific journey through the world of biological information syst…

On this episode, the molpigs team talks with Ashwin Gopinath about bridging size scales in nanomaterial size scales. We explore his journey from optical physics to learning DNA nanotechnology in the…

Join the molpigs team for a discussion with Prof. Katherine Dunn from the University of Edinburgh about her work on using DNA nanotechnology for medical applications and her exciting new ideas regard…

This week’s podcast is with Erika DeBenedictis, a new principal investigator who is founding her lab at the Crick Institute in London. Her lab will focus around the broad field of bioautomation, but …

In this episode the molpigs team talks with Greg Tikhomirov about his experience starting a new molecular programming lab and his visions for “a new nanotechnology”. We learn about his journey from w…

Join the molpigs team for a conversation with Eva Bertosin about her work on building nanoscale rotors during her PhD with Hendrik Dietz. This is a "poster podcast," so we will occasionally be refer…

Join the molpigs team as they have a discussion with one of the theoretical giants of molecular programming: Anne Condon. Over the wide-ranging conversation, she shares her insights on NP-complete p…

On this episode Hannah, Boya, Erik and new co-host Dhaval sit down with Jurek Kozyra, founder of the molecular programming startup, Nanovery. Over the course of this wide-ranging interview, he tells …

Join us for a chat with Sam Schaffter, a postdoc at NIST working on realizing complex transcription-based strand displacement in living systems. We start the conversation with the story of how he ma…

Join us for a relaxed chat with Sifang Chen, a science policy post-doc, for a slightly different discussion. We speak about Sifang’s past, how she got into DNA nanotech and molecular programming, her…

Today we’re talking with Damien Woods, a professor and molecular programmer at the Hamilton Institute, Maynooth University, Ireland. We first began by talking about how his early interests in dynamic…

In our latest Meet The Molecular Programmer, our guest was David Doty. We dove right in to the way he splits his research time, which has been between software development, theory, and sometimes expe…

This week we spoke with William Poole, a graduate student at Caltech working on quite a few topics! His research spans synthetic/systems biology to molecular programming, software development to chem…

Join us in this experimental episode as our conversation turns inwards! Instead of finding out about the life and interests of someone from the field, we share some of our own views and anecdotes. We…

Today we are joined by Lee Organick, a PhD student in the Molecular Information Systems Lab (MISL) at the University of Washington. Lee is a biologist turned computer scientist and engineer, quite a …
