Jessica Kretzmann completed her PhD degree in nanotechnology at the University of Western Australia, where she spent part of her doctoral studies as a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 2018. Her PhD research focused on the design and evaluation of new materials for the delivery of gene therapeutics. Subsequently, she was an Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow at the Technical University of Munich, where she worked on the design and implementation of DNA origami for biotechnological applications from 2020 to 2022. Currently, she is a Forrest Fellow aiming to establish DNA origami research in Western Australia. Her ongoing projects include developing DNA-based nano-sensors, targeting gene drug delivery using DNA origami, and synthesizing templated inorganic nanoparticles. Jessica's research interests lie in modeling, building, and applying nanoscale interactions for applications in biosensing and in improving drug delivery for gene therapies. Her work is highly interdisciplinary, integrating aspects of health, energy, and environmental sciences.
