Our Mission: We specialize in the design, interrogation and application of programmable DNA nanotechnology to decode the molecular language of the brain and advance human health. By merging single-molecule biophysics with optical engineering, the Hariri Lab builds biosensors and precision diagnostics that illuminate living systems at the nanoscale.
