Elizabeth Jergens works at the interface of nanotechnology, materials chemistry, and molecular biology, with a focus on using DNA and DNA nanostructures to organize and control nanoparticles, and on tools like optical tweezers and plasmonic (light-based) heating to study single molecules of DNA. Her work also touches on redox-active polymers and nanocomposite materials, connecting chemistry-driven materials design with biomolecular applications.
