Core Social Responsibilities of the Nanomedicine Lab are:
– To contribute towards training of the next generation of researchers and scientists
– To communicate to the general public about the potential social impact, implications and concerns around the use of nanotechnology in medicine and beyond.
Teaching & Training of students motivated to become nanomedicine researchers and scientists is integral to our mission.
Read below which Master’s programmes we are teaching in and encourage students to spend their research projects in the Nanomedicine Lab.
TEACHING
The Nanomedicine Lab is contributing to teaching and hosting research projects for the following three Masters programmes. We welcome students interested in exploring a research career in nanomedicine to enroll in one of these programmes and opt to perform their research project with us.
The Nanomedicine Lab offers this bespoke and research-focused, one-year Master’s programme in the field nanotechnology for medicine with the newly launched
MSc in Nanomedicine by Research
All Nanomedicine Lab 2.0 faculty members and senior scientists design, coordinate, and deliver this course and aim to offer a unique experience to students interested in spending one year integrated within the Nanomedicine Lab. The philosophy of this MSc programme is to cultivate students that would like to explore a research career in nanomedicine.
The course is particularly suitable for students interested in exploring the possibility of a further research career in nanomedicine.
LAB SEMINARS
The Nanomedicine Lab in collaboration with the ICN2 and other groups interested in the application of nanotechnology and nanomaterials in healthcare and medical applications are regularly inviting and hosting colleagues from different global institutions with an active research programme and contributions in the broader area of nanoscience and nanotechnology in medicine and biomedical sciences.
OUTREACH ACTIVITIES
All Nanomedicine Lab members are regularly contributing to various activities that aim to inform and educate the public, from primary school students to science festival goers, about nanotechnology used in biological and medical sciences.
NanoWhales
The Nanomedicine Lab regularly volunteers on research expeditions for the Pelagos Cetacean Research Institute.
In the summer of 2019, the Nanomedicine Lab raised over £11,000 in order to fund a two-week scientific expedition to study the eastern Mediterranean sperm whale population. Three of our lab members volunteered to set sail across The Hellenic Trench, the deepest area of the Mediterranean Sea, to understand the threats facing our ocean’s giants. Together with marine biologists from the Pelagos Cetacean Research Institute, the project aimed to aid in the conservation and protection of the ocean and its inhabitants.
