DNA is well known to be a genetic molecule with double helix structures. DNA is evolved in nature to follow a simple and precise Watson-Crick pairing rule to encode enormous genetic information in living things. Nevertheless, DNA is not only a carrier of genetic information, but can be regarded a type of molecular information materials. DNA molecules have been exploited as a building block to encode various types of structures that are not present in nature. More recent advances show that nucleic acids-based information materials are increasingly being used for applications including bioimaging, drug delivery and micro-nano fabrication. In this talk I will introduce the use of nucleic acids-based information materials for developing molecular machines and data storage.

Our goal is to develop cell and gene therapies for outer retinal layer diseases. We performed autologous and allogeneic iPS-derived retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell transplantation for age related macular degeneration and photoreceptor transplantation for retinitis pigmentosa. The grafted cells survived for many years and we confirmed the safety . As for cell manufacturing, we put a humanoid robot to do the same manipulation as the tacit technical staff to get stable cell quality always.
