Carlos E. Castro's research focuses on DNA nanotechnology, particularly the design, simulation, and characterization of dynamic DNA origami structures that can move, reconfigure, or act as molecular-scale sensors. His work combines experimental methods with computational modeling (including coarse-grained simulations and deep learning) to build nanoscale devices with applications in areas like gene delivery, cancer vaccines, and biological force measurement. This research sits at the intersection of nanotechnology, molecular biology, and biomedical engineering.
