Discoveries in Nanoscience at MU Lead to Opening of Unique On-Campus Nanoparticles Production Core Facility

A tiny particle undetectable by the human eye is at the center of future research and discovery in science, technology and medicine. Experts, including a national academy of sciences member, have commented that the University of Missouri-Columbia is ten years ahead of the curve, due to discoveries made in the field of nanoscience by Kattesh Katti, professor of radiology and biomedical physics and Raghuraman Kannan, research assistant professor of radiology. These discoveries paved the way for the recent opening of the Nanoparticle Production Core Facility (NPCF), one of the first on-campus facilities of its kind.
