Understanding and controlling proton diffusion in non-conventional solvents to enable high-density DNA nano-synthesis

Master internship - Leuven | More than two weeks ago Advances in light‑directed DNA synthesis have renewed interest in photoacid‑generator (PAG)–based chemistries as a path toward scalable, high‑density oligonucleotide fabrication. By leveraging spatially patterned proton release to drive acid‑catalysed deprotection, these systems promise cost‑efficient production of custom sequences. However, recent progress has als…
