Experimental Medicine in Biology

Researchers in the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering’s (CNSE) Nanobioscience Department were major contributors to a newly published, thematic issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine.

The unique issue includes an introduction by Interim Dean of CNSE, Dr. André Melendez, highlighting technological research progress enabled by the National Nanotechnology Initiative in 2001 and opportunities presented by the recently passed CHIPS Act, in addition to six mini-reviews and two original research articles “targeting toxicology, pathogen and exosome detection, spinal cord injury, tissue scaffolds, molecular barcoding, RNA biology, and bio-hybrid electronic devices that bridge biology with nanotechnology and the bionanoscience interface.”
