The emerging field of nanobiotechnology combines expertise in the physical sciences, biology, engineering, and medicine. At Penn State, faculty expertise in these fields is brought together through the interdisciplinary research missions of the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences and the Materials Research Institute.
In 2008, groundbreaking will begin on an ambitious Materials/Life Science complex that is designed to provide the most advanced tools of nanotechnology, and bring together the most talented researchers in the materials and biological sciences in one central location to generate the kind of collaborative research that nanotechnology enables. This synthesis of nano and bio technologies at Penn State is expected to provide large-scale pay offs in the coming decade.
