Welcome to DNA Plasmonics 2021
Last year, preparations for the conference were in full swing and we were looking forward to seeing old colleagues and making new contacts. But then the pandemic came and, like so many events, we had to cancel our conference on short notice.
We liked the tradition of alternating “DNA Nanotechnology” and “Molecular Plasmonics”. However, we decided to adapt to current circumstances: This year we will have the first conference that mix both fields – welcome to the premiere of DNA Plasmonics 2021 as a virtual meeting! It will be thereby a streamlined schedule, just two sessions and time for social interactions, complemented by a satellite session for the Asia-Pacific participants, aiming at keeping the established contacts and generating new ones.
We hope to meet you at the conference.
Program
The virtual (Zoom) meeting DNA Plasmonics 2021 will start with a social event (get together, May 2nd, 6-8 pm CEST Zoom/WonderMe), a main session (May 3rd, 3-8 pm CEST), and a preceding Asia-Pacific satellite session (May 3rd, 8-10 am CEST).
There will be 20 min regular talks, and „Update Pitch Talks“ (1-2 slides 1-2 min) to shortly present a group including a research highlight. The Zoom/WonderMe links for the meeting will be sent by e-mail to registered participants.
[Please note that all times are given in CEST, which is 6 h after Hong Kong (HKT), and 6 h ahead of New York City (EDT).

Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology
At the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) in Jena, scientists use light to find solutions to questions and urgent problems in the fields of health, environment, medicine and safety. Under the motto “Photonics for Life”, they research light-based technologies that make our lives safer, healthier and cleaner. Especially in the field of optical health technologies, Leibniz IPHT, in cooperation with partners from research and industry, is specifically promoting translation: the transfer of research results into applicable solutions – from Ideas to Instruments.
