RAZOR

RAZOR meets Ioanna Mela, a doctor working on tiny devices – made from intricately folded DNA strands – which can make antibiotics work better and even slow the rise of superbugs. Her work so far has found the technique has slowed the growth rate of two common bugs, one of which is E. coli. 

Mela tells RAZOR how she got into the field and explores the challenges and setbacks she faced being a woman in the scientific field.
