Center for Research Excellence in Nanobiosciences
Welcome
The Center for Research Excellence in Nanobiosciences (CREN) was established at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 2007 with a mission to develop innovative and commercially viable nanobiotechnology products.
CREN goals are:
1. To develop novel classes of nanomaterials with superior physical and biological properties that can be functionalized for innovative biotechnologies.
2. To recruit, mentor and educate a diverse population of outstanding students at the undergraduate and graduate levels in nano-biotechnology.
3. To secure patents and transfer technologies that has commercial potential.
CREN research work focuses on four primary areas in Nanobiosciences which include (a) synthesis and functionalization of novel classes of nanomaterials that can be employed in the development of new bio or environmental related technologies (b) development of innovative diagnostics that utilizes active nanosystems (c) characterization of the toxicity and environmental impact of nanoparticles and (d) computational modeling that complement the experimental and development activities within the center.
