Congratulations to Diana Habel-Rodriguez, Carlee E. Ashley, Darin Leonhardt, Arezou Khoshakhlagh, Andrew De La Riva, Erika J. Cooley, Ryan Molecke & Martin J. Donovan who were awarded the IGERT fellowship for 2006.

This exciting program bridges the distinct properties of the nanoscale to microsystem functionality.  The integrated academic and research activities highlight our capabilities and unique breadth in materials synthesis and self-assembly, nanolithography, interrogative platforms, and functional micro/macrosystems.

Special emphasis is placed on translating these technologies to radical changes in the way we diagnose, treat and ultimately prevent cancer.

The Nanoscience and Microsystems Program highlights three technical thrusts; Informational Nanotechnology, Nano-Bio Interfaces and Complex Functional Systems.

All participants in the Nanoscience and Microsystems Program are American citizens or permanent resident working towards their Ph.D. degree in a participating UNM graduate field. The program requires that IGERT fellows complete a curriculum of  integrated courses.

This program is a collaborative effort among faculty and fellows from several different scientific departments.
