The goal of this one week long workshop is to combine lectures, lab exercises and hands-on demonstrations to introduce the students to the process of nanomaterials synthesis and their subsequent incorporation in medical devices for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The workshop will include use of electron microscopy facilities in LISE, guest lectures from faculty at Harvard Medical School and a visit to Harvard Medical School research labs. The course is open for both undergraduate and graduate level students.

This course received a  President's January Innovation Fund for Faculty award.
