Christopher R. Lucas works on nanotechnology tools for studying molecular biology, particularly using DNA origami (structures folded from DNA strands into precise nanoscale shapes) as measurement devices. His work includes building a 'nanocaliper' to probe the stability of nucleosomes, which are the units of DNA packaging in cells, and exploring how folded DNA devices can be used to direct or interpret cell behavior.
