Maynooth University secures €4M EU funding for a DNA-based data storage project led by Prof. Damien Woods.

Maynooth University in Ireland has secured €4 million in EU funding for a project led by Professor Damien Woods to develop a DNA-based computing and storage system. This initiative aims to utilize DNA's vast storage capacity, as each human cell holds over a gigabyte of DNA, to create more efficient data storage solutions. The project, part of the European Innovation Council Pathfinder Challenge, seeks to reduce energy consumption in digital data storage.
