Organizational Structure of the Center

A visualization of the interactions that were described in the above text on scientific interactions. It is seen that for every pair of investigators, there are multiple paths connection them. This is generally thought to be a sign of a robust network (Albert and Barabasi, 2002), since it ensures that losing a single node, or breaking a single connection, will not break the network. Networks of interacting genes tend to be of this sort (Ravasz et al, 2002). For more, see the Network Structure of the NCDBN.

The National Center for Design of Biomimetic Nanoconductors is funded by Grant Number PHS 2 PN2 EY016570B from the National Institutes of Health through the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research and is based at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Partner institutions include Yale University, University of Southern California, University of Chicago, Illinois Institute of Technology, Sandia National Laboratories, Argonne National Laboratory, Oxford University, Wabash College, University of California, Davis, nanoHUB at Purdue University, and the University of New Mexico.
