Abstract

  1. The safe and successful application of nanotechnology in the biological realm is a challenge due to the inherent multiscale nature of biology.
  2. Engineering nanoBIO devices requires the knowledge of how nanotechnology-based devices interact with biological systems at the bioenvironment, cell, and tissue levels.
  3. nanoHUB is a successful approach to nano research and education. The nanoBIO nodes exploits this to support nanoBIO community.
  4. Community interactions drive nanoBIO activities in a way that respects Diversity and a Culture of Inclusion

Bio

Geoffrey C. Fox

Fox received a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from Cambridge University where he was Senior Wrangler. He is now a distinguished professor of Engineering, Computing, and Physics at Indiana University. He previously held positions at Caltech, Syracuse University, and Florida State University after being a postdoc at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and Peterhouse College Cambridge. He has supervised the Ph.D. of 73 students with a hindex of 78 and over 36000 citations. He is a Fellow of APS (Physics) and ACM (Computing) and works on the interdisciplinary interface between computing and applications.

 

Fox leads the nanoBIO node https://nanohub.org/groups/nanobio:

The Engineered nanoBIO node develops computational tools that enable researchers to engineer nanoparticles (NPs) based on the knowledge of how NPs interface with biological matter at the bioenvironment, cell, and tissue levels. The tools are community-informed, user-tested, and experimentally validated. They are deployed and continuously refined on nanoHUB to address research and education needs of the nanoBIO community.
