Home       CENOBITE, virtual centre of nanobiotechnology, a possible partner to Nano2Life network of excellence   Short description of CENOBITE The CEntre of research in naNOBIoTEchnology (CENOBITE) is a "virtual" centre of research based upon the strong cooperation and integration of activities of 10 Romanian research centres (research institutes, research groups from universities, small companies). These centres are active in biology, medicine, pharmacology, chemistry, biochemistry, physics, micro and nanotechnologies. The activity will be financed from MATNANTECH (a new project starting in October 2002), with an annual evaluation of results. The research topic is  selected from the 6th Framework Programme of European Union, with nanobiomaterials included. CENOBITE is financing equipments, visits of foreign scientists in Romania and organization of scientific events. This project is complementary to the financing from the infrastructure projects (networks), which are focused mainly on multidisciplinary training (courses, short stages), exchange of information etc. The basic model used for conceiving CENOBITE are the Excellence Networks from the 6th Framework Programme Partners from CENOBITE: Centre of Nanotechnologies (under the aegis of the Romanian Academy) from the National Institute for R&D in Microtechnologies (IMT-Bucharest) Centre of Laser-Surface-Plasma Interactions from the National Institute for R&D for Laser, Plasma and Radiation (IFLPR) Department of Neuro-Psycho-Pharmacology from the Centre of Medical-Military Research (CCSMM) Centre of Microstructures and Microsystems for Environmental Monitoring and Biomedical Applications from the National Institute for R&D in Microtechnologies (IMT-Bucharest) Group of Ceramic Nanocristalline Materials from the Research Institute for Nonferrous and Rare Metals (IMNR) Centre for Molecular Biology from the Faculty of Biology, University of Bucharest Centre for Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology from the National Institute for Chemical-Pharmaceutical R&D Centre for Microbiology from the Institute of Biology (Romanian Academy) Centre of Glicobiology from the Institute of Biochemistry (Romanian Academy) Co-ordinator of CENOBITE, IMT-Bucharest  Projects from CENOBITE   Bio-chips for electrochemical activity investigation of biological media (2001-2002)   Porous silicon matrix for biomedical applications (2001- 2004)   Silicon-chip-based bioanalytical microdevices  (2003-2005)   Microsystem for controlled drug delivery (2003-2005)   Nanostructurated silicon membranes technology for pharmaceutical microdevices (2003-2005)   Microprobe for stimulation and recording of neural activity Enter the database for partner matching Enter the nanoLINK
