The Center for Cancer Research Nanobiology Program (CCRNP) serves as a
catalyst to move forward multidisciplinary efforts in the area of
Cancer Nanotechnology. The activities of the principle investigators
in the program fall into several broad areas that include membrane
structure and function; protein interactions; biomedical image and
database analysis; structural bioinformatics; structural glycobiology;
molecular information theory and computational RNA Structure. The
investigators are working together to study how biomolecules can be
used to design nanodevices for in vivo imaging, as diagnostic tools
and for targeted drug delivery to combat cancer and other diseases.
In addition, such devices can be used to understand and track cellular
processes and disease progression. Accomplishing these goals requires
an understanding how macromolecules form functional assemblies and
networks, and how they enter cells and tissues. The program forms
partnerships with the NCI's broader Nanotechnology Program, other CCR
basic research laboratories and clinical branches, as well as with the
broader extramural community, to enhance the interface of physics and
computational sciences with biology.
Note the name of the lab has been changed as of August 1, 2005 from
Laboratory of Computational and Experimental Biology (LECB) to
Center for Cancer Research Nanobiology Program (CCRNP).
The CCRNP periodically has openings for outstanding postdoctoral fellows and summer students. Applications from minorities and women are encouraged.
Please direct inquiries to the CCRNP Lab Manager T. Beard or relevant Group or Section Chiefs.
