Nanotech Center Receives $12.5 Million In Second Round of Funding

Posted: 

Ohio State's Center for Affordable Nanoengineering of Polymeric Biomedical Devices has been awarded $12.5 million in continued funding from the National Science Foundation. NSF first established CANPBD in 2004. The center is unique in that it is the only one among NSF’s 19 Nanoscale Science and Engineering Centers that focuses solely on the development of polymer-based bio-nanotechnology.

In its first five years, the center spawned more than a dozen patents, as well as five commercial spin-off companies. The new funding will enable the center to continue its mission for the next five years.
