Emphasis:

The emphasis is on the development of nanomaterials and associated computational models for biomedical intervention. 

Projects might focus on:

• elucidating important engineering design rules or key foundational principles underlying future engineering, including the use of computational methods
• prototyping or redesigning platform technologies
• characterizing (in vitro, ex vivo, or in vivo) broadly applicable technologies and prototypes

NIBIB interests include but are not limited to: 

• magnetic and acoustic nanoparticles for ablating cells and tissues
• plasmonic nanorods for tissue suturing
• functionalized nanocarriers for drug delivery and immunotherapy
