Researchers also presented data showing that the nanotube–polymer complexes could measure levels of large molecules, a feat that has […] Science Magazine Biosystems nanotechnology: Big opportunities in the science of the small In exploring potential research collaborators, he came acrossHeather Clark, a professor of pharmaceutical sciences at Northeastern University’s Bouvé College of Health Sciences, who was working on numerous biosensor-related projects at the nanotech scale. Skipwith contacted her with a request for a postdoc appointment and a collaboration was born, as Clark immediately realized the value they […] Bionic fashion: Wearable tech that will turn man into machine by 2015 7:10am: Before making breakfast you run your forearm across an ultraviolet reader on your wall to check your glucose levels. Your “nano-tattoo” shines back a reading that shows you are in the healthy blood-sugar range. As a diabetic, you used to have to prick your finger and take a blood sample to find out how your […] Heather Clark for Northeastern Global News Everything the human body does is guided by chemistry we don’t fully understand. Yet. Everything the human body does is guided by chemistry we don’t fully understand. Yet. Northeastern's new Systems Bioanalysis and Chemical Imaging Institute will focus on finding ways to image your body's chemistry. These PhD students credit female mentors for their success. Now they’re paying it forward. These PhD students credit female mentors for their success. Now they’re paying it forward. Jennifer Morales and Jaclyn Lock recently received their PhDs, a feat they say they could not have accomplished without their female mentors.
