Nanotechnology Research - Universities

The Biomedical Optics and Nanodiagnostics Laboratory advances nanotechnology, molecular imaging, and biophotonics for early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer.

The Cho Laboratory develops applications of metal-based nanostructures, including gold nanoparticles, for x-ray imaging and radiation therapy, and quantitative imaging techniques for boron neutron capture therapy.

The Lopez-Berestein Laboratory is a cancer nanomedicine and biology laboratory focused on mechanisms of cancer cell survival, tumorigenesis and progression, and therapeutic applications using RNA interference, oligonucleotides, chemotherapeutic agents, and small molecules.

The Melancon Laboratory develops nanoparticle-enhanced absorbable devices for vascular diseases and nanotheranostics for the management of cancer and its complications.

'Bringing intelligence into micro-nano-systems' - The focus of this research group is integration of adaptive and machine learning techniques with micro-systems to achieve ultra-low power and robust operation.

The CMSC is a multidisciplinary facility that is focused on research on composite materials, processing and design as well as transfer of composites technology to industry.

The minor in Nanoscale Science and Engineering (Nanotechnology) is deliberately designed to introduce students to the basic issues and overall scope of this field, encourage students to pursue interdisciplinary coursework outside their major, develop an understanding of the importance of flexibility in terms of careers, research, and education, and be flexible to allow for participation by students in diverse majors.

Michigan Technological University's Nanoscale Science and Engineering minor introduces students from any major to the fundamentals of nanotechnology through a multidisciplinary curriculum spanning physics, chemistry, biology, instrumentation, and applications. Flexible electives let students broaden their exposure or deepen specific interests, while coursework also addresses the societal implications of emerging technologies. The minor strengthens qualifications for research, development, and manufacturing careers across public and private sectors.
