Project
Synthesis and Integration of Light-Responsive Molecules in Polymers
During the beginning of my project, I am synthesizing and characterizing light-responsive nucleosides. I will later integrate these nucleosides into polymers, for example DNA. The resulting material will be able to modify its properties in response to light stimulation of different wavelengths.
