The Center for Nano Biotechnology Research (CNBR) at Alabama State University aims to enhance research infrastructure to perform world-class research in the emerging new area of nanotechnology.

The center facilitates four research themes:

1) Structural studies of RSV at nanoscale and viral inhibition by nanoparticles,

2) Carbon nanotube Attached with ssDNA as nanosensor for detection of Salmonella Typhimurium,

3) The Development of Nanobiomaterials for Drug Delivery, and

4) Delivery of Nanoparticle Encapsuled AntiChlamydial Peptides in an Animal Model.

These projects are carried out in collaboration with the University of Louisville, University of South Florida, University of Alabama at Birmingham and Tulane National Primate. The center includes an international scientist exchange program in collaboration with China, India, Argentina, Singapore and Japan. The CNBR aims to:

Perform world-class research in nanobiotechnology
Provide educational opportunities to minority students
Develop new curricula and programs in nanobiotechnology
Enhance industry-institutional research and commercialize research products
Communicate with the community
