Nanoscale Science and Technology research students in nanoLAB cross the traditional disciplinary boundaries of medicine, engineering and the physical sciences. At Newcastle University you'll get the chance to: thrive on interdisciplinary challenges, collaborate with industrial partners and create your own spin-off company to commercialise the results of your research. MPhil and PhD supervision is available in: micro and nanoscale design, fabrication, manufacturing and manipulation, top-down and bottom-up fabrication, nanoscale materials and electronics, applications of nano and microelectronics in medical science (cell biology, neuroscience, human genetics and ageing), polymers, self-assembly, chemistry of nanoscale systems and biomolecular engineering - microfluids, bioprobes and biosensor systems, MEMS/NEMS-based sensors and device.
