In recent research, the interaction between self-assembled DNA structures and liquid-liquid phase-separated systems composed of polymers was investigated. It was observed that DNA structures can be selectively taken up by these compartments, leading to self-assembly that mimics artificial cells and the interaction of nucleic acids and organelles. Based on these findings, I developed a method for purifying self-assembled DNA structures and created a new category of colloidossomes based on the accumulation of DNA origami at the interface of droplets. This enabled the creation of colloidosomes that can self-organise into cellular like structures. In the future, I will explore the possibility of translocating nucleic through membranes of DNA coloidosomes, which might find application in DNA sequencing technology and on synthetic cell models for the transport of nucleic acids thourgh membranes.
