The DNA nanotechnology outlines a new chapter in biological sciences

opening a new era of scientific and technological advancements. A pioneer of DNA nanotechnology

Professor Liu from the University of Stuttgart in Germany

our latest Light People

has been working at the interface

where nanophotonics meets biology and chemistry. On the path of scientific explorations

she believes in hard working and persistency

as indicated by a line of Chinese poetry she likes

"Don't stop chasing the wind and the moon

the spring mountain is at the end of the plain." She is an outstanding female researcher

radiating wisdom. She is a pioneer in exploring the power of DNA nanotechnology and applying it to other disciplines. Meanwhile

she struggles with work–life balance. Apart from being determined and persistent

Prof. Liu is also introspective. One sees the brilliance of a scientist and the struggles of a mother

as Prof. Laura Na Liu explains to us her very personal "philosophy of life".
