Program of Excellence in Nanotechnology 2010-2015

The goal of NHLBI Programs of Excellence in Nanotechnology is to develop nanotechnology-based tools for the diagnosis and treatment of heart, lung, and blood diseases, and to move the translation of these technologies towards clinical application.

The program will bring together multi-disciplinary teams from the biological, physical, and clinical sciences for the focused development and testing of nanoscale devices or devices with nanoscale components, and apply them to cardiovascular, hematopoietic, and pulmonary diseases. The program will also develop investigators with the interdisciplinary skills to apply nanotechnology to heart, lung, and blood disease problems.
