Welcome to the Dietz Lab at TU Munich.
What we do & How we do it.
We use molecular self assembly with DNA origami* to develop nanoscale scientific devices and novel approaches to biomolecular physics and protein science**. 3D transmission electron microscopy and single molecule methods including optical trapping and fluorescence microscopy are among our analytical tools.
(*) Read a primer to DNA origami.
