[NANO Membership Roster] [NANO Meeting Rosters]

The Nanotechnology Study Section (NANO) reviews applications focused on fundamental aspects of bioengineering and technology development based on the unique properties of materials at the nanometer scale. Nanotechnology draws from the disciplines of physics, chemistry, materials science, and bioengineering. A premise is that basic research and early technology development, prior to specific practical use will be reviewed. Specific areas include:

• Studies of the unique properties of materials at the nanoscale.
• Design, synthesis, and development of nanostructures, nanodevices, and nanosystems.
• Nanotechnology based research in complex biological/medical problems.
• Nanotechnology in cellular imaging, sensing, and drug/gene delivery.
• Biocompatibility and toxicities associated with nanomaterials.

Study sections with most closely related areas of similar science listed in rank order are:

Biomaterials and Biointerfaces Study Section (BMBI)
Gene and Drug Delivery Systems Study Section (GDD)
Instrumentation and Systems Development (ISD)
Enabling Bioanalytical and Biophysical Technologies Study Section (EBT)
