The University of Brasilia (UnB) is a leading university in central Brazil. The two partners of NANOSOLUTIONS, Institute of Physics and Institute of Biological Sciences, are national leading units located in the central part of the Country, particularly in the field of Nanoscience and Nanobiotechnology (N&N), hosting many international cooperation and national projects, as for instance National Networks and National Institute of Science and Technology.
Activities in N&N has been focused on basic and applied research, in material’s synthesis and material’s functionalization, material’s characterization (structural, morphological, optical, thermo-optical, magnetic, and magneto-optical), biological (in vitro and in vivo) tests (including nanotoxicology assays) and phase-I trials, always involving academic training at different levels (undergraduate, graduate, and post-doc).
The two units (Institute of Physics and Institute of Biological Sciences) combined are responsible for about 35% of all indexed (WoS) FUB publication.
