Nanotechnology and Cancer
Abstract:
"The NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer is a national initiative that will enable us to join together all the communities in the public and private sector that provide discovery, innovation and development expertise in nanotechnology applied to cancer. The Alliance is built on a strong foundation of science and scientific accomplishment. Its implementation will be guided by the Cancer Nanotechnology Plan."
Catch the live webcast on September 13, 2004, 1:00 P.M. - 2:30 P.M. EDT.
Speakers include:
- Dr. Vicki Colvin, Executive Director of the Center for Biological
and Environmental Nanotechnology and Associate Professor of Chemistry, Rice
University
