Nanomedicine Seminar Series Presents:

“Finding Common Ground in Nanomedicine”

Abstract:

Nanomedicine offers the promise of uniting several fields

to work toward a common goal.  However, this collaborative research

must bridge substantial boundaries involving ethics, funding, student

training, and intellectual property development.   Moreover, vastly

differing measures of success are employed by researchers inside and

outside the therapy community.  I will comment on several relevant

case histories involving the development of prototype nanomedical

strategies and devices, and I will pose open questions to promote

discussion on how best to organize research in this new direction.
