Interdisciplinary Research Groups

Nanomaterials and Nanochemistry

Current research includes the development of fabrication methods based on guided assembly with applications in drug delivery, nanobioreactors, and biosensors. These materials have tremendous potential in novel implantable biodevices. Analytical and fabrication facilities include a nanoindenter, wet laboratories, and access to synchrotron x-ray facilities at national laboratories.
