Achievement

Since its inception, the IGERT program has been offering three new interdisciplinary courses that are required for all IGERT fellows. Through these courses, the IGERT fellows are provided with a solid foundation in all aspect in the field of nanomedicine and hands-on experience in familiarizing with the various instrumentations that are routinely used to characterize the nanomaterials used in nanomedicine. There has been tremendous interest within the Northeastern University community for these course and are now offered to non-IGERT students as well. This past Fall, using web-based technology, we were able to deliver guest e-Seminars. This involved guest lectures by speakers who were able to give their talk from remote location and this was broadcast to students enrolled in the class. This technology provides a two-way dialogue to share ideas and also gives us the opportunity to invite a lot more speakers to broaden the research areas covered.
