Dr. Thomas Henry LaBean

Thomas Henry LaBean for his innovative research studying the structure, evolution and engineering of biopolymers as DNA and proteins. Using nanofabrication, he is studying self-assembling DNA nanostructures for use in nanoelectronics and other areas. Applications of his work include further miniaturization of electronic circuits, creating stimulus responsive constructs for bio-sensing and molecular therapeutics as enzyme inhibitors and metabolic activators. Currently an Associate Research Professor at North Carolina State University, Dr. LaBean has published over 50 articles in prestigious journals, been awarded two patents and received numerous research grants and awards.
