Congratulations to Katelyn for successfully defending her thesis and reaching this important academic milestone!!!<\/p>\n
Her project titled \u201cComparative Binding Studies of DNA-Based Monoclonal Antibody Mimics,\u201d<\/strong> explores the design and evaluation of DNA-based constructs that emulate monoclonal antibody binding behavior. The work focuses on systematically comparing binding affinities and specificities across different DNA architectures using SPR and ELISA assays. The study demonstrates how nucleic acid-based systems can be engineered as robust and programmable alternatives for molecular recognition, which also contributes to the broader development of Nucleic Acid nanotechnology for bioanalytical and therapeutic applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Congratulations to Katelyn for successfully defending her thesis and reaching this important academic milestone!!!
