Nako Nakatsuka: Shape-shifting DNA and its importance for the human brain

The senior scientist at the Laboratory of Biosensors and Bioelectrics, Nako Nakatsuka has recently developed tiny nanosensors that are built out of DNA. These nanosensors are of great use for a better understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and for treating conditions such as depression and dementia. Thanks to Nakatsuka's research, it is easier to detect chemical changes in the brain and the body.
