The Center for Biomolecular Nanotechnologies of IIT@UniLe  establishes a large scale facility for bio-molecular and organic materials and nanoscale biomolecular interactions. The main target is the development of nanostructured materials with advanced mechanical, chemical and electronic functionalities and the investigation of the cellular toxicity of such nanostructured compounds, in view of future nano-safety standards of certification.

The activity of the center is quite transdisciplinary. Sharing a common basic knowledge on molecular and biomolecular compounds it will enable state of the art research in the field of functional and responsive nanocomposite materials, nanotoxicity, organic  materials for low cost energy sources, and advanced materials modeling.
