In the Gothelf Lab, we aim to combine our knowledge of organic chemistry and nanotechnology with the endless possibilities of DNA-structures. Our research spans multiple areas, from biosensors, DNA nanotechnology, bioconjugation, and nucleic acid chemistry. You can explore more about our research areas through the buttons below.

Professor Kurt Gothelf is the coordinator of the Novo Nordisk Foundation Challenge Center for Multifunctional Biomolecular Design (CEMBID). This center aims to develop multifunctional biomolecular drugs using oligonucleotide-based assembly. The group is also part of the Center for RNA Therapeutics Towards Metabolic Disease (RNA-META), contributing to the next-generation RNA-based therapeutics and targeted delivery methods. Additionally, the group collaborates with the Technical University of Denmark and Havard University on the BioNwire project, which focuses on the self-assembly of a bio-nanowire device on a microelectronic chip for single-molecule biosensing and conductance analysis.
