Brown University – Institute for Molecular and Nanoscale Innovation

Technology: Facilitator

The Institute for Molecular and Nanoscale Innovation (IMNI) was founded as an umbrella organization to support centers and collaborative research teams in targeted areas of the molecular and nanosciences. Much of IMNI research activity is centered around three broad themes: Center for Advanced Materials Research; Center for Nanoscience & Soft Matter; and Nanohealth Initiative. IMNI is a polydisciplinary venture representing nine departments across campus. IMNI serves as a focal point for interaction with industry, government, and our affiliated hospitals. Read More…

Brown University – Laboratory for Environmental and Health Nanoscience

Technology: Materials

The R. Hurt laboratory at Brown focuses on the creation of 3D nanomaterial architectures and new nano-enabled technologies. We also study the potential adverse effects of emerging 2D nanomaterials on human health and the environment and work to identify safe design rules rooted in fundamental materials chemistry and physics that will enable their successful development and commercialization. We specialize in work on graphene-based materials, inorganic 2D materials, and metallic nanoparticles, and seek to understand the complex problems that arise at the interface between synthetic nanomaterials and natural and living systems.
