Single Molecule BioPhysics and Systems NanoBiology

UNAM-Institute of Materials Science and Nanotechnology has emerged from a project of Bilkent University aiming at establishing a national nanotechnology research center in Turkey. Research facilities are expanding rapidly in order to host 100 professional researchers with Ph.D. degrees and at least 300 graduate students. UNAM is growing as a center of excellence in nanotechnology and is operating as a high level national research facility that serves to all interested researchers and users from universities, state enterprises and private sector all over Turkey.

Nanotechnology Research Center at Bilkent University is dedicated to research on theoretical and experimental nanoscience and nanotechnology with strong emphasis on education and training.

Until now, there has been no single organisation providing a seamless concept-to-market route for the emerging bio-nanotechnology sector. The UK's new Bio Nano Centre takes the lead by leveraging £50M of new investment in the London Centre for Nanotechnology and the Imperial Institute for Biomedical Engineering coupled to London's vast medical research complex to deliver rapid lab-to-prototype development services. The Bio Nano Centre completes the value chain for companies seeking to rapidly develop, prototype and commercialise new biomedical products by providing a range of high-value infrastructure and capabilities.
