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.
