The conference focuses on the various applications of DNA for future molecular electronics. The main topics are the characterization of DNA conductivity, modification of DNA in order to generate biotemplated nanowires, and the use of DNA to connect or position other nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes.

Eleven papers from the May 2004 symposium explore DNA-based approaches in the molecular electronics field, such as DNA modification, manipulation of DNA in electrical fields, and DNA superstructure nanotechnology. The researchers describe the use of DNA glue to connect molecular units in order to establish molecular complexes, the metallization of
