Today, Jie Xu has been named to MIT Technology Review s prestigious annual list of 35 Innovators Under 35 in the Global category. Every year since 1999, the world-renowned media company has recognized a list of exceptionally talented technologists whose work has great potential to transform the world.
Tim Maher, managing editor of MIT Technology Review, said: We get more than 500 nominations for the list every year, and getting that list down to 35 a task not only for the editors at MIT Technology Review but also for our 30+ judges is one of the hardest things we do each year.

Home > Press > Putting functional proteins in their place: Using DNA-based assembly, scientists developed a method for creating designed and biologically active 2-D and 3-D protein arrays, which show promise for applications in structural biology, biomaterials, nanomedicine, and biocatalysis
An illustration showing the approach for assembling biologically functional proteins into ordered 2D and 3D arrays through programmable octahedral-shaped DNA frameworks. These frameworks can host and control the placement of the proteins internally for example, at the center (1) or off-center (2) and be encoded with specific sequences externally (color coding scheme) to create desired 2-D and 3-D lattices. For example, red only connects to red, blue to blue, and so on. The team demonstrated the preserved biological activity of ferritin lattices by adding a compound (ascorbate) that induced the release of iron irons forming the ferritin core.
