Workshop Premise
The broad objective of the workshop is to showcase University of Illinois research in nanomedicine, nanoelectronics/nanophotonics, and nanomaterials/ nanomanufacturing.

The general framework of the nanotechnology workshop will be similar to those held on campus in May 2003-05; which were well attended by industry and academia.  Some of those interactions have since then led to industry and cross-campus collaborations.

The workshop will provide a forum for industry interactions and collaborations.  The workshop will bring together campus community (faculty, graduate and undergraduates, administration) from UIUC and Washington University , and industry engaged in cutting-edge research.  A workshop panel will discuss the roadmap to future direction of research and development in nanomedicine.

Format:  The two-day workshop will be held on May 4 and 5, 2006 at the prestigious Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The workshop program will include plenary session speeches, technical sessions, panel discussion, and poster sessions, in addition to lunch and dinner receptions.

Sponsors: University of Illinois Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology

Director,Office of Technology and Industrial Relations

Office of the Director, National Cancer Institute

Dr.Downing is Director of the Office of Technology and Industrial Relations (OTIR) in the Office of the Director at the National Cancer Institute (NCI),National Institutes of Health. In this role, he facilitates the collaboration among Federal, academic, and private biomedical research sectors to support technology development that will yield innovative diagnostic, detection, and targeted treatment strategies for cancer. Through the OTIR, he supervises the administration of grants and contracts for programs in nanotechnology, biosensors, therapeutic delivery systems, and new technology platforms and imaging systems. He currently serves on several committees, including the NCI-FDA Interagency Oncology Task Force and the Biomedical Information Science and Technology Consortium.


Robert Chau, Intel

Dr. Robert Chau is an Intel Senior Fellow and Director of Transistor Research and Nanotechnology at Intel Corporation. He is responsible for directing research and development in advanced transistors, process modules and technologies, and silicon integrated processes for microprocessor applications. He is also leading research efforts in emerging non-silicon nanotechnologies (e.g. III-V quantum-well devices and carbon nanotubes) for future nanoelectronics applications. Dr. Chau holds more than 75 U.S. patents, has received six Intel Achievement Awards and 13 Intel Logic Technology Development Division Recognition Awards,was recognized by IndustryWeek in 2003 as one of the 16 “R&D Stars” in the United States, and is an IEEE Fellow.

            Nanomedicine Session Speaker

Richard Fisher, Program Leader, Nanomedicine Initiative, Program Director, Corneal Diseases, NEI, NIH   

Richard S. Fisher received a Ph.D from the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. As a staff fellow in the Laboratory of Kidney and Electrolyte Metabolism,National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the NIH, he continued studies of membrane transport properties and cell volume regulation. While a staff physiologist in the Department of Nephrology,Division of Medicine at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, he was also a visiting scientist at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium. Dr. Fisher returned to the NIH as a scientific review administrator in the National Institute of Deafness and other Communication Disorders and then joined the National Eye Institute as a health science administrator where he is the Director of the Corneal Diseases program. He has served on the Institutional Review Board of Frederick Memorial Hospital, Frederick, MD and has served on various trans-NIH committees. He also currently serves as the project team leader for the Nanomedicine Initiative.
