The Institute for Molecular and Nanoscale Innovation (IMNI) was founded at Brown University in 2007 as an umbrella organization to support centers and collaborative research teams in targeted areas of the molecular and nanosciences. IMNI is a “polydisciplinary” venture with 55 faculty participants representing nine departments across campus. IMNI serves as a focal point for interaction with industry, government, and our affiliated hospitals.
Much of our activity is centered around three major research themes:
IMNI supports scientific team building, proposal preparation, block grant management, seminars, special functions, and nanoscience course offerings across campus.
IMNI Events
a special event on the Brown campus May 5-7 2008 to celebrate the establishment of the new Institute. Brown researchers will interact with distinguished invited guests from academia, government, and industry in a series of three workshops on our main themes: Advanced Materials (Monday, May 5), Nanoscience (Tuesday, May 6), and NanoHealth (Wednesday, May 7).
