Division of Bioengineering and Physical Science transferred to the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering

Abstract:
The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering ( NIBIB ) today announced the integration of the Division of Bioengineering and Physical Science ( DBEPS ), formerly part of the NIH Office of Research Services, into the NIBIB Intramural Research Program. The expertise of the DBEPS staff supports the mission of the NIBIB to integrate bioengineering with the life and physical sciences, and spans cutting-edge technologies operating at scales ranging from near-atomic resolution to intact organisms.

Consultations and collaborative research with other NIH intramural scientists will continue to be the main focus of this group's work. Research areas currently include new approaches to determine three-dimensional cellular structure, measuring interactions between macromolecules, modeling drug delivery, and performing nanoscale diagnostics.
