Foundations of Nanoscience:
Self-Assembled Architectures and Devices
Foundations of Nanoscience is a yearly conference on the scientific underpinnings of nanoscience, with self-assembly as a central theme. Over the last 20 years, FNANO has become a nucleation point for programed self-assembly (DNA nanofabrication, RNA nanotechnology, Protein Enginering, etc).
Numerous fields, from computer science to molecular medicine, address problems at the nanoscale. FNANO’s purpose is to create an environment that breaks traditional departmental silos that separate nanotechnologists working with self-assembly.
FNANO cultivates a wide breadth and variety of presentations and attendees to create a rich environment for the development of new ideas and collaborations.
We have multiple tracks, representing different perspectives on nanoscience, but only one active presentation or poster session at a time, ensuring that attendees are never forced to choose between talks.
Topics include self-assembled architectures and devices, at scales ranging from molecular to meso-scale. Methodologies include experimental as well as theoretical approaches.
FNANO spans many traditional disciplines including chemistry, biochemistry, physics, computer science, mathematics, engineering, molecular biology and molecular medicine.
We express our sincere gratitude to all our sponsors including Parabon Nanolabs and Delong Instruments, and in particular to Laura Kienker, ONR Program Officer, Dr. Stephanie McElhinny, ARO Program Officer, and Mitra Basu, NSF Program Officer for their continued support of FNANO.
Happy is he who gets to know the reasons for things.
