Nanotechnology - Evanston, Illinois, United States
This remarkable age of scientific discovery will have a profound impact on the way medicine is practiced. Revolutionary research will involve bioengineering, an emerging discipline that applies innovative concepts in science and engineering to solve our most challenging medical and biological problems, and nanoscience, the study of ultra-small things.To catalyze this transformation, in 2000 Northwestern University created the Institute for BioNanotechnology in Medicine (IBNAM) to promote collaboration between students from the Feinberg School of Medicine, McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences.
