Program Objectives
The Nanoscale Cell Biology Program of the NBTC is aimed at approaching a mechanistic understanding of cellular function with nanoscale precision. To achieve this aim new nano- and microscale tools are developed and applied. Microfabricated devices are also developed to probe cellular function in highly parallel manner for proteomics and drug testing. The approaches include nanoparticles, nanofabricated devices and molecular design. All projects involve interdisciplinary teams with PIs, post-docs and students from many different disciplines supplemented by outside collaborations on the national and international level.
