 Sponsors the 1^st Annual

Nanomedicine and Cellular Engineering

(NCE) Symposium

Presentations by Investigators from Purdue University, University of

Notre Dame, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Indian Partner Institutions

   Registration Requested: lml@purdue.edu or 49-42276 by Monday, June 8^th

 The NCE is a funded partnership between Purdue University and Center for Cellular and Molecular Biology, Hyderabad, India.  The collaborating institutions are with University of Illinois at Urbana-Campaign, University of Notre Dame, and National Institute of Interdisciplinary Science and Technology and Indian Institute of Chemical technology.

The short-term scientific goals of NCE will be to construct experiments that builds upon ongoing efforts in this recently funded collaboration to: i) develop multifunctional nanoprobes and photonic structures for sensing ii) develop targeted and trackable nanomaterial-based carriers of therapeutic nucleic acids, iii) develop in vitro and in vivo cellular targeting and therapy administration methodologies for disease treatment and prevention, iv) incorporate into these studies multimodal imaging tools comprising of Raman, fluorescence, hyperspectral, and magnetic resonance imaging with a long-term potential for in vivo imaging, and v) fabricate nano devices and biosensors to diagnose rare disease events that have a high potential for commercialization in the long-term.
