DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center for Nanoscale Materials and Biointegration (CNMB) was formally approved by the University of Alabama System Board of Trustees in February 2006 as an interdisciplinary research and student-training center focusing (i) on the synthesis and characterization of nanoscale materials and structures that have potential biomedical applicability and (ii) on the integration of these nano-materlals and -structures into practical biomedical devices and technologies. By bringing together researchers and faculty from the basic sciences and materials departments with those from the biomedical and health professions, the Center is uniquely positioned to be at the forefront of biomaterials research and nanotechnology development for improving human health. We propose hiring two new tenure-track faculty members in Nanoscale Sciences for Biomedical Research. The first faculty hire will be in the area of "Nanoscale Therapeutics and Biomedical Imaging" and the second faculty hire will be recruited in the "Micro- and Nano-Electro Mechanical Systems for Biomedical Applications (BioMEMS/NEMS)" area. Both faculty hires would be associated with the CNMB and have their tenure-track academic appointments in departments within the UAB School of Natural Sciences & Mathematics. The new faculty hires will utilize the core facilities supported by CNMB in the School of Natural Sciences & Mathematics, the Institute of Oral Health Research in the School of Dentistry, and the Pulmonary Injury & Repair Center in the School of Medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Also these new faculty hires will strengthen our NIBIB-supported pre-doctoral training program entitled "Nanotechnology in Biosensors and Bioengineering". CNMB director and PD/PI Dr. Yogesh Vohra has a strong track record of minority recruitment in the NIBIB T32 program where 40% trainees are underrepresented minority participants while nearly 40% of the faculty hires in the School of Natural Sciences & Mathematics over the past five years have been either women or members of underrepresented groups in the sciences. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): This faculty recruitment program would increase a skilled workforce in nanotechnology tools that will lead to advances in biomedical implants, biosensors for early diagnostics of diseases, and regenerative medicine. The intellectual property generated by the nanotechnology research efforts of these new faculty hires will further lead to new startup companies and contribute to the economic development in the region.

描述（由申请人提供）：纳米级材料和生物整合中心（CNMB）在2006年2月被阿拉巴马大学系统董事会正式批准，作为跨学科研究和学生培训中心（i）对纳米级材料和结构的综合和特征的跨学科研究中心（I），这些材料和结构具有潜在的nanscale材料和结构的纽约 - 纽约人的能力和（II）的整合（II）。进入实用的生物医学设备和技术。通过将基础科学和材料部门的研究人员和教职员工与生物医学和健康专业的研究人员汇总在一起，该中心在生物材料研究和纳米技术发展的最前沿，以改善人类健康。我们建议在纳米级科学中雇用两名新的终身教师进行生物医学研究。第一位教职员工将在“纳米级治疗和生物医学领域 成像”和第二任教师的聘用将在“生物医学应用的微观和纳米电子机械系统（BioMems/nems）”区域中招募。这两位教师的雇员都将与CNMB相关，并将其在UAB SCHOPILE SCHOPILE SCHOPIONS中统治学术界，并在UAB SCHOPILES中获得了自然的核心和数学的企业。 CNMB在自然科学与数学学院，牙科学院的口腔健康研究所以及阿拉巴马大学伯明翰大学（UAB）的医学院的肺部受伤与维修中心（UAB）也将加强我们的尼比布支持我们的nibib前的培训。 CNMB董事和PD/PI Yogesh Vohra博士在Nibib T32计划中拥有少数群体招募的记录，其中40％的学员的代表人数不足，而在过去五年中，近40％的教师在自然科学和数学学院的雇员中，是妇女或成员的成员或成员的成员。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：该教师招聘计划将增加纳米技术工具的熟练劳动力，这将导致生物医​​学植入物，生物传感器的早期诊断疾病和再生医学的进步。这些新教师员工的纳米技术研究工作产生的知识产权将进一步导致新的创业公司，并为该地区的经济发展做出贡献。
