Applying Nanoscale Technologies in Biomedical Research: A workshop
October 14, 2009, 4:30pm - 6:00pm
Countway Library
Harvard Medical School
10 Shattuck Street, Boston
The Harvard Catalyst Research Navigators and the Center for Nanoscale Systems (CNS) at the Harvard University Faculty of Arts and Sciences cordially invite biomedical researchers interested in nanoscale technologies to a workshop on October 14, 2009. This session will feature an overview of CNS resources, as well as speakers from the Harvard community who will illustrate and discuss applications of those resources in biomedical research. The goal is to bring together a diverse group of investigators to explore how nanotechnology might be brought to bear on biomedical questions.
Refreshments will be provided, and there will be ample time for networking.
CNS is an important resource for biomedical research across Harvard University and its affiliated academic health care centers. It operates and maintains large, centralized scientific facilities in research areas related to electron microscopy, nanofabrication, and materials synthesis. In all of these areas, CNS strives to create a community of scientists that are interacting and collectively doing some of the most innovative research at the nanoscale. In the 10 years since its inception, CNS has been involved in more than 100 projects from Harvard Medical School and its affiliates.
Attendance at this event is limited to 40 individuals, and registration is required; attendees should RSVP by October 7. Please send your name, contact information, home department and institution, and a brief description of your research interests to Amy Webber (E-mail; 617-432-7810). We will include this information in a list of attendees that will be circulated at the event.
The Harvard Catalyst Research Navigators are committed to providing opportunities for collaboration by organizing scientists and clinicians around research resources, areas of investigation, and disease topics. This event is part of the Synergy Series, a series of seminars and workshops designed to increase connectivity in the Harvard Catalyst community.
