The Garvan Institute is a couple of blocks away from where I live.
The structures they are are talking about aren't any kind of knot, but a four-strand stretch of DNA held together by cytosine-to-cytosine bonds - there's no interesting topology involved.
Medical education isn't big on pure math skills. I'll talk to my oncologist friend about it - he and I were undergraduates in the same residential college, and our wives shared a bathroom in their residential college, so we go back a long way.
