Annual Report 2007 - The Australian Nanotechnology Network

to our related research. We believe there are excellent opportunities for mutually beneficial
collaboration in these areas.
(2) Dr Bipasa Bose, from Reliance Life Sciences Pty Ltd, Navi Mumbai.
Her exciting research on the use of nanotechnology in regenerative medicine is of great interest
to the Nano-Bionics Program in our ARC Centre. In particular, her studies on the use of carbon
nanotubes as novel platforms for the culturing and proliferation of stem cellscomplements our
own studies with organic conducting polymers as platforms for the culturing and prolifersation
of neuron and muscle cells.
