Melika Shahhosseini's research focuses on developing DNA-based nanotechnology tools, particularly DNA origami structures, to study how cells interact with their surrounding environment (the extracellular matrix). This work involves engineering molecular sensors that can be attached to cell membranes or embedded in synthetic tissue-like materials to measure forces and detect biomolecular interactions in real time. Earlier work also included polymer-based oxygen sensors and membrane technology for gas separation.
