Molecular & Translational Nanomedicine
Integrating molecular design with pathophysiology for novel nanomedicine
Our students learn to
perform interdisciplinary research via opportunities that leverage nanoengineering and biological principles for the development and application of novel therapeutic and diagnostic agents
receive training in labs that integrate engineering/biomedical theory and experimental work
receive research training that is pertinent and readily translatable to current clinical practice
have access to state-of-the-art instrumentation for world-class scientific investigations
