IAMDN supports projects throughout Rutgers that bridge the interface between the materials and life sciences. IAMDN facilities resources have equipped research teams with state-of-the-art micro- and nano-patterning and lithography facilities for applications in micro- and nano-fluidics and tissue engineering. We support several groups in nanomedicine, with expertise in nano-scale pharmaceuticals and nano-scale drug delivery systems. Other coupled research programs are focused on molecular/cellular mechanism and motor problems in nanobiology, and energy exchange and harvesting. Underpinning this research is active development of nanosynthesis, nanoparticle and nano-characterization capabilities. In addition, IAMDN provides advanced spectroscopic and microscopic characterization facilities to support several Centers including the NSF-ERC for Structure Organic Particulate Systems (C-SOPS), the NJ Center for Biomaterials, EOSHI, UMDNJ, the Cancer Institute of NJ, and the Stem Cell Institute of NJ.
