Biography
Biographical Information 1986: Bachelor degree, Dickinson College. 1989: PhD degree, Penn State University.
Research Interest
Research Interets: The focus is on developing methods for controlling the architecture of molecules and materials on the 1-100 nm length scale, and utilizing such structures to develop novel analytical tools that can be applied in the areas of chemical and biological sensing, gene regulation, lithography, catalysis, optics, and energy generation, storage, and conversion. Mirkin has pioneered the use of biomolecules as synthons in materials science and the development of many nanoparticle-based extra- and intracellular biodiagnostic and gene regulation tools.
