Hanadi Sleiman

Hanadi Farouk Sleiman FRS is a Canadian chemist who is Canada Research Chair in DNA Nanoscience at McGill University.

After earning her doctorate, she moved to the Louis Pasteur University as a French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) Fellow, where she worked alongside Jean-Marie Lehn.

[1] She has designed tuneable DNA cages and nanotubes that can encapsulate and selectively release pharmaceuticals when they encounter a biological stimulus.

[2] These non toxic cages can facilitate personalised drug delivery, that is, healthcare that is based on a person's genetics, environment or lifestyle.

[4][5] Sleiman has shown that it is possible to chemically imprint polymer particles with DNA strands for soft robotics.
