Research Projects
The CNBS strategic research program focuses on commercialization of promising engineered nanostructures and devices for controlled / timed drug delivery and removal, bio-sensors, selective nano-composite sensors for therapeutic applications, and non-invasive healthcare diagnostic devices and systems. The proposed program will leverage over $30M of already existing nano-bio research ongoing at the University of Florida. The primary research thrusts of the Center will be in the area of development and fabrication of sensors for diagnosis of diseases and detection of chemical and biohazards.
