Abstract
Oct. 9, 2012
Heather and Samantha spent part of Summer 2012 at the Max Planck Institute in Germany.
This series is organized by PhD students who are appointed as Trainees in the NIH/NCI Midwest Cancer Nanotechnology Training Center (M-CNTC) and in the NSF IGERT in Cellular and Molecular Mechanics and BioNanotechnology (CMMB IGERT). These traineeships are designed to train the next generation of leaders who will define the new frontiers of nanotechnology in cancer research and in cellular and molecular mechanics and bionanotechnology. The BioNanotechnology Seminar Series is also sponsored by the Center for Cellular Mechanics (CCM) and the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) at the University of Illinois.
