Studies in Nanosciences
Why study Nanoscience
Text by Mark Inglin, Instructor, Scientific Communications courese
Coming into the nanoscience department from a biology/physiology background, I did not fully appreciate the scope, potential and sheer excitement that the study of nanoscience can offer. This became fully apparent to me only after sitting in on student seminars, watching them explain their research and reading their scientific papers. One example: the future of medicine will unquestionably include targeted drug delivery. To achieve such a goal, knowledge of cell biology, chemistry and physics will have to merge at the nano level. Overcoming the blood-brain barrier to help in the fight against Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases is another example in a very long list. Studying nanoscience with an emphasis on your special area of interest is the ideal way to be a part of this exciting future.
