The
SCCNE is among the seven recently awarded CCNEs by the National
Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health.
The University of Illinois is leading Core 6 of the project-
Nanomaterials and Nanofabrication for Targeting Cancer.
This core addresses fundamental issues pertaining to
nanomaterials and nanofabrication toward the development of
nanodevices and nanotubes for targeting cancer.
Proposals
are invited which contribute toward the advancement of the goal of
this core component, which is the research and development of
nanomaterials and novel nanofabrication techniques to translate
ideas to clinically adaptable nanodevices and nanomaterials that
operate in real-time at ultrasensitive, ultra-reliable, and
ultra-small resolution.
It
is our expectation that the PIs will leverage the SCCNE-UIUC seeded
projects to seek extramural support from the NIH and others for
full-blown projects.

ABOUT CNST
The
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Center for Nanoscale
Science and Technology (CNST) is the premier center for
nanotechnology research, education, and outreach activities. CNST
draws its strength from working as a collaboratory involving the
Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, Biotechnology
Laboratory, Coordinated Science Laboratory, Frederick Seitz
Materials Research Laboratory, Institute for Genomic Biology, Micro
and Nanotechnology Laboratory, Center for Nanoscale Chemical,
Electrical, Mechanical, Manufacturing Systems, National Center for
Supercomputing Applications, and the School of Chemical Sciences.
The Center is working towards seamless integration of
interdisciplinary research from atoms and materials to devices and
systems.
CNST
is uniquely located to harness the entrepreneurial and technical
spirit in the Midwest, with ongoing industrial linkages as it
prepares tomorrow's workforce. The CNST thrives on its
cutting-edge research in bionanotechnology, computational
nanotechnology, nanocharacterization, nanoelectromechanical systems,
nanoelectronics, nanofabrication, nanomaterials, nanomanufacturing,
