About Us
DISCO: DNA based Infrastructure for Storage & COmputation.
Funded by the European Innovation Council PATHFINDER Challenge on DNA-based digital data storage, DISCO aims to address the significant (and growing) gap between data generation and global storage capacity in a way that is scalable, environmentally sustainable and increases the integrity and reliability of data storage over the long periods of time. The project is coordinated by Prof Damien Woods who leads the TAPDANCE Research Group at Maynooth University.

TAPDANCE: Theory And Practice of DNA Computing Engines
Based at the Hamilton Institute, Maynooth (Ireland), and funded by ERC, EIC, and SFI.
Our focus is on both the underlying computational theory and practical implementation in the lab.
Major Groove
Major Groove, in partnership with the Tapdance lab at Maynooth University and Tilibit Nanosystems, is launching the DISCO project focused on DNA Data Storage. DISCO is EU-funded and was awarded an EIC Pathfinder Challenge grant.
Tilibit
Revolutionising nanoscale engineering through molecular information technology. We offer prefabricated structures and custom designs, as well as assembly, purification, quality control and direct imaging of DNA origami nanostructures

TAPDANCE Group at Maynooth University Hamilton Institute
Founded in 2001 with support from Science Foundation Ireland, the Hamilton Institute, based in Kildare, Ireland, has garnered international recognition for its significant contributions across communication networks, mathematical biology, and fundamental mathematics.
The TAPDANCE group was established within the Hamilton Institute in 2019 with the arrival of Prof Woods to the Hamilton Institute, where he has developed a strong research portfolio including a prestigious ERC Consolidator Award (ACTIVE DNA).
