We are delighted to welcome Dr Yamuna Krishnan as a new Associate Editor for Nanoscale.
Dr Krishnan is a Reader at the National Center for Biological Sciences (NCBS), Bangalore, India. Her research involves understanding the structure and dynamics of unusual forms of DNA and translating this knowledge to create DNA-based nanodevices for applications in bionanotechnology.
Dr Krishnan obtained her BSc in chemistry from the University of Madras, and graduated with a PhD in organic chemistry from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. Between 2001 and 2004 she was a research fellow at the University of Cambridge, UK, before taking up a position as a Fellow (Assistant Professor equivalent) at NCBS. In 2002 she was awarded the prestigious 1851 Research Fellowship award.
Dr Krishnan will be handling papers soon and so we encourage you to submit to her editorial office.
We have collected together some recent articles in Dr Krishnan’s exciting research fields, with a selection available to read for free for a limited period:
