Oleg Gang

Oleg Gang is the named principal researcher behind the source archive dossier "Oleg GANG, et al. — DNA-Silica." The dossier attributes to his group a body of work on DNA-programmed nanomaterial assembly, including the silica nanolattice paper and a family of patents on DNA-templated lattices, nanoparticle superlattices, and related coatings and detection methods.

Role in this source

The dossier is titled after Gang, and the patent list is presented as his group's output. The press article quoted in the dossier attributes the silica nanolattice work to the University of Connecticut, Columbia University, and Brookhaven National Laboratory. The dossier itself does not break down Gang's specific institutional affiliation or his individual contribution to each item.

Associated work in the dossier

• The paper "High-strength, lightweight nano-architected silica" by Aaron Michelson et al. in Cell Reports Physical Science — the primary mechanical result.
• US20260158477A1 — 3D Metal, Metal Oxides, and Semiconductor Nanoscale Frameworks Through Templating of DNA-Programmable Lattice Scaffolds — 3D metal, metal oxide, and semiconductor nanoscale frameworks through templating of DNA-programmable lattice scaffolds.
• US12548243B2 — 3D-Organized Nanomaterials Through DNA-Prescribed and Valence-Controlled Material — 3D-organized nanomaterials through DNA-prescribed and valence-controlled material.
• Six further patents on peptoid coatings, isothermal molecular amplification, nanoparticle superlattice assembly, bio-programmable crystallization, 1D/2D nano-object arrays, and protein/DNA-mediated assembly and disassembly.

Caveat

The dossier is an archive aggregation. It does not provide a biography, a publication list, or an institutional affiliation statement for Gang beyond the title and the patent attributions. Claims about his work should be tied to the specific paper or patent they come from.

It reports DNA-organised silica-nanoparticle lattices that withstand harsh temperature, pressure and radiation conditions, and it comes before the nanolattice strength work.
