Thomas Sharp is not only a biochemist but also an independent researcher at the Leiden University Medical Center. His wide-ranging interests and desire to combine different fields of research have led him to study various subjects including biochemistry, chemistry, structural biology and bionanotechnology. This has given him a strong multidisciplinary background and approach towards diverse subject matters such as, for instance, the research on the immune system. His projects include studying how to connect self-made DNA nano-templates with the immune system for it to destroy cancer cells and eventually cure the disease.
