About
Dayong Yang is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of DNA nanotechnology, soft robotics, and smart biomaterials. His work focuses on engineering DNA-based hydrogels that are both super-soft and super-elastic, enabling unprecedented applications in confined biological spaces. Yang’s most notable contribution is the development of a magnetic DNA hydrogel-based soft robot, inspired by organisms like earthworms, that can navigate narrow, confined environments for targeted cell delivery—a breakthrough for minimally invasive surgery and in vivo cellular manipulation. This work, published in 2019, has accumulated over 153 citations, underscoring its impact. He has also advanced dynamic materials that respond to biological processes, such as a DNA/dopamine-grafted-dextran hydrogel that functions as a living wire for microbial metabolism-switched circuits, opening doors in synthetic biology and smart medicine. With over 200 citations across his key publications, Yang’s research is shaping the future of bioinspired robotics and responsive materials, offering transformative tools for healthcare and bioelectronics.
