IGERT Nanomedicine Science and Technology is a new integrated doctoral
education program in the emerging field of Nanomedicine, created with
support from the National Cancer Institute and the National Science
Foundation. The program aims to educate the next generation of scientists
and technologists with the requisite skill sets to address scientific
and engineering challenges, with the necessary business, ethical and
global perspectives that will be needed in the rapidly emerging area of
applying nanotechnology to human health.
The program combines the interdisciplinary expertise of over 20
Northeastern faculty members with the collaboration of researchers and
scientists from neighboring hospitals and industrial institutions in the
Boston area. Northeastern students enrolled in a Ph.D. program in Biology,
Chemistry, Physics, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical/Industrial
Engineering, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or Pharmaceutical Sciences, may
apply to the IGERT interdisciplinary program. The IGERT fellow will
graduate with a Ph.D. degree in their core subject with specialization in
Nanomedicine Science and Technology.
The IGERT Nanomedicine program currently holds 8 Doctoral Trainees and 3 Undergraduate Associates. To date, the program has graduated over 50 Ph.D.,
Masters, and Undergraduate students combined.
