DARPA implanted nanodevices

[Charles Maris]

Federal Friday continues.

DARPA has money for researching implanted nano devices.

Take a look here:

"...the In vivo Nanoplatforms (IVN) program is to develop
biocompatible nanosensors that provide continuous, noninvasive, and
highly accurate measurement of a variety of conditions and substances
within the living tissue of animals, plants, and insects using non-
toxic materials with limited immunogenicity. These sensors will permit
qualitative and quantitative assessment over large concentration
ranges of both small (e.g., glucose, lactate, and urea) and large
molecules (e.g., proteins, oligonucleotides, infectious agents, and
chemical/biological threat agents) in the organism and environment
through optical, electronic, thermal or magnetic mechanisms."

This might be a great opportunity to partner with a biologist and/or
chemist.

Get in touch with your OSP if you are interested.

Due date is JUNE 28, 2012.
