Hello world! My name is Minke Nijenhuis, and I decided to do things a little bit differently in this blogpost. Welcome to Draw my Blog!

Meet Michael Pinner
Hey there! My name is Michael Pinner, and I am one of the 15 early-stage researchers (ESRs) participating in the DNA-robotics research network. Born and raised in Vienna (Austria), I am now based in Munich (Germany) where I am working in the laboratory of Hendrik Dietz at TU Munich. Interdisciplinary research fields like ours naturally bring together researchers from a vast range of backgrounds, and in the following I would like to tell you my own story.
Meet Aitor Patiño Díaz
I’m Aitor Patiño Díaz, one of the 15 researchers enrolled in this ITN and I’m working in Francesco Ricci’s lab from Rome.together with Lorena (whose introduction post you can find here).
I’m going to write about my personal story and background, so sit tight, this might be a little long…
Meet Lorena Baranda
My name is Lorena Baranda and I come from Palencia (Spain), the city where I was born and raised. The reason you are reading about me today is because I am part of the 15 fortunate students who will be involved for 3 years in this research network, and I will be working at University of Rome Tor Vergata (Italy) in the Francesco Ricci Lab.
Welcome to the DNA-Robotics blog
We’d like to tell you what we’re doing. You may know that we’re working on creating nanorobots using DNA technology. But you may not know what it is like to be a PhD student within a cross-European network working on interdisciplinary projects. Therefore, we’ve created this blog to give you, our readers, a glimpse of the life as a PhD student.
15 PhD students will be part of DNA-Robotics and they will take turns in writing posts for this blog. The format is completely free. You may find blog posts about the ups and down of being a PhD student, moving to a new country and experiencing a new research culture, posts about the perspectives of our research, or about science politics.
We expect the blog to start during autumn 2018. So stay tuned and see what shows up with regular intervals.
