07<strong>Bioengineering</strong> represents the frontiers <strong>of</strong> engineering sciences.The multidisciplinary field has tremendous potential for generatingnew materials, devices, instrumentation <strong>and</strong> processes that wouldimpact healthcare <strong>and</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> life. <strong>Nanotechnology</strong> is a powerfultool that allows us to create <strong>and</strong> manipulate microstructures at thenanometer scale. By integrating nanoscopic <strong>and</strong> macroscopicengineering, we can create novel biomaterials <strong>and</strong> medical deviceswith unique functionalities that mimic biological systems.The <strong>Institute</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Bioengineering</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Nanotechnology</strong> (<strong>IBN</strong>) was established in 2003 toexploit the tremendous opportunities presented at the interface <strong>of</strong> these two excitingfields. By establishing <strong>and</strong> targeting the latest scientific <strong>and</strong> engineering approachesfor biomedical technologies, we have carved a niche in the development <strong>of</strong> knowledge,intellectual property <strong>and</strong> talent. In particular, we have converged multiple disciplinesacross engineering, science <strong>and</strong> medicine to build our six areas <strong>of</strong> research:DELIVERY OF DRUGS, PROTEINS AND GENESNANOBIOTECHNOLOGYTISSUE ENGINEERING<strong>IBN</strong>BIOLOGICAL AND BIOMEDICAL IMAGINGARTIFICIAL ORGANS AND IMPLANTSMEDICAL DEVICES
