The Nanomedicine Lab has a mission to generate and disseminate fundamental knowledge in the field of nanomedicine at the convergence of nanotechnology, bioengineering, pharmacology and neurotechnology.
Clinical translation of advanced materials as integral components of next generation therapeutics, diagnostics and medical devices by safe and socially responsible pathways is our ultimate goal.
