Nanotechnology Research – Laboratories

CSEM's expertise in nanotechnology focuses on characterization, optics, microscopy, and surface engineering. The combination of these technologies with other ones such as microfluidics, microsystems, photonic optics and micro-optics makes CSEM able to integrate successfully nanotechnology to novel products.

The Friedrich Miescher Institute is devoted to fundamental biomedical research. As part of the Novartis Research Foundation and one of the institutes of Novartis Corporate Research, the institute's goal is to exploit new technologies to further the understanding of the basic molecular mechanisms of cells and organisms in health and disease.

Current work encompasses novel applications of scanning probe methods; the construction of functional devices such as transistors out of nature's fundamental building blocks. Increasing efforts have been dedicated to the development of sensors for chemical and biological interactions, stress, magnetization, etc.
