INSTITUTE FOCUS:
Cancer Nanotechnology and Cell Mechanics

OBJECTIVES

The overall objective is to enhance the ability to address challenges in Cancer Nanotechnology and Mechanobiology. The 2015 Summer Institute offers expertise from interdisciplinary faculty in biology, engineering, materials science, and nanotechnology through a combination of lectures and hands-on lab experiences.

Specific objectives include:

  • Train next-generation researchers in nanotechnology, applied to both engineering and biology through lectures and hands-on experiences
  • Foster multi-lateral and multi-disciplinary collaboration and interaction
