NIH Call for Clinical Collaborations

The network of NIH Nanomedicine Development Centers requests letters from clinical investigators interested in collaborating in the nanomedicine research enterprise. Clinical investigators, with ongoing preclinical/translational research programs, will be expected to participate in the activities of one or more of the NIH Nanomedicine Development Centers (NDC) and to explore opportunities for potential medical applications that build on the science emerging from one or more of the centers. Approximately $2,000,000 annually for two years will be available to support three to five projects from clinical collaborators. See http://www.nanomedcenter.org/funding for more information.

Professor Jakobsson gives NCDBN talk at Beckman Institute

Eric Jakobsson, PI and Director, NIH Roadmap National Center for Design of Biomimetic Nanoconductors will discuss current research and seek active collaboration with relevant translational and clinical researchers, both to apply our technologies to focused medical research, and also to help us direct our future basic science and technology activities in ways that will ultimately result in effective therapeutic interventions. Talk Details.

Nano-bio Summer School : July 31-August 10, 2007

This summer, on the campus of the University of Illinois, the NCDBN and NCN@UIUC will hold a scientific meeting on "Experimental and Computational Approaches to Understanding Membrane Assemblies and Permeation," a nanoHUB user forum, and a summer school on "Multiscale Theory, Simulation, and Reality at the Nano-Bio Interface" and the nanoHUB. Together, these will create a two-week community for learning, sharing, and doing multiscale simulation with emphasis on applications in biology.

For more information and an application, please see the Meeting and Summer School flyer or http://www.uiuc.edu/goto/nanobio.

Nanobiology and Nanomedicine subgroup of the Biophysical Society

The National Center for Design of Biomimetic Nanoconductors is leading a movement to request the formation of a Nanobiology and Nanomedicine subgroup of the Biophysical Society. As per the BPS web site: "New subgroups may be formed by petition, signed by at least 100 regular members. The petition and accompanying bylaws need to be approved by Council." Please download the proposed bylaws (PDF) and petition (PDF) and return to:
