The Johns Hopkins University has established a new Institute for Nanobiotechnology to bring together expertise from the fields of nanotechnology, biotechnology, biology, medicine, and engineering to enable the creation of new knowledge and new technologies. In partnership with research facilities and universities throughout the country, the INBT will revolutionize health care and medicine by creating groundbreaking technologies based on nanotechnology.
The Institute's vision includes the development of innovative, interdisciplinary research programs focused in four interrelated thrust areas--therapeutics, diagnostics, cellular and molecular dynamics, and health and the environment. Interdisciplinary educational programs, public outreach programs, as well as industrial outreach programs at INBT are designed to foster the next generation of nanobiotechnology research and development.
