UCSB center adds nano spin to biotech

Hoping to carve out a role for nanotechnology in treating life-threatening diseases, the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a medical research institute in San Diego County have formed a multimillion-dollar partnership to recruit up to 150 scientists and support staff and house a research center at UCSB.

Called the “Center for Nanomedicine,” the UCSB-Burnham Institute for Medical Research effort will start by pairing three nanotechnology researchers and three biologists to work on drug discovery, delivery systems and new imaging technology. Funding will come from a variety of research grants as well as private donations.

The partnership will eventually recruit a dozen faculty scientists, half to the faculty of UCSB and half to the Burnham Institute, and make its home on a whole floor of a research building at UCSB due for completion in 2016. Overall, the effort would create as many as 150 jobs for scientists and support staff.Read Full Article
