Abstract. In this presentation, a brief introduction to knot theory will be given first.
This will include the basic definitions and concepts concerning knots, various knot invariants and
some of the most important theorems that are either classical or have been discovered in recent
years. The second half of the talk will be devoted to the discussions of some interesting and
important applications of knot theory to biology, especially to DNA research. The talk is aimed
at a general audience and you will not need an advanced degree in mathematics in order to
follow the talk!
