Description
In the past few decades there has been incredible growth in "bionano"-related research, which has been accompanied by numerous publications in this field. Although various compilations address topics related to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and protein, there are few books that focus on determining the structure of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and using RN

Person
Bin Wang obtained her Ph.D. from the Department of Chemistry at Queen's University (Canada). Her doctoral studies with Richard D. Oleschuk and J. Hugh Horton spanned the areas of analytical chemistry, nanotechnology, and surface chemistry, which involved developing polymer materials to fabricate microfluidic devices and further chemical modification of polymer surfaces for specific microfluidic applications. After finishing her Ph.D. study, Dr. Wang conducted a one-year postdoctoral research with P. Martin Petkovich at Queen's University to develop antigen- and antibody-modified polymer microdevices. In 2005, she joined Kevin M. Weeks' research group at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Her postdoctoral work involved applying the newly developed RNA structure-analyzing technology to monitor ligand-induced conformational changes in tRNAs and mRNAs. Dr. Wang's areas of interest are RNA biochemistry and nanotechnology.
