They promote education of young researchers and try to help establish the links between molecular biology and nanoscale science.
They encourage research in this growing scientific discipline in general. Moreover, they help to found the links between molecular biology and nanoscale science. In addition, they try to educate young researchers. The center supports the Helen and Martin Kimmel Nanoscale Laboratories (NL) in the basement of the Perlman building which include molecular biology laboratories and auxiliary laboratories for the characterization and manipulation of nanomaterials.
