Benjamin E. Partridge is a International Institute for Nanotechnology Postdoctoral Fellow at Northwestern University. A native of the UK, Ben conducted master's research on anion-templated rotaxanes with Paul D. Beer (University of Oxford), before moving to the US for his doctoral studies at the University of Pennsylvania, where he worked with Virgil Percec on the role of chirality in supramolecular assembly of benzyl ether dendrons. In 2019 Ben joined the group of Chad A. Mirkin, where his current research focuses on the programmed assembly of proteins into highly ordered biomaterials using DNA.
