Prof. Wolf to Lead Legal & Ethical Analysis of DNA Nanotechnology

Professor Susan Wolf is collaborating on a newly funded project entitled "DNA Nanotechnology: Developing and Analyzing a New Tool for Sensing and Targeting Disease." This two-year project, funded by the University of Minnesota's MnDRIVE Transdisciplinary Research competition, is led by Professor Efie Kokkoli (Chemical Engineering & Materials Science), with Professors Karen Ashe, Scott McIvor, Walter Low, Ted Labuza, and Wolf serving as Co-PIs. Wolf will be leading the project's work on the ethical, legal, and societal implications of cutting-edge technology combining DNA and nanostructures to treat brain diseases and to detect allergens in food production.
