Nanobiotechnology Research Internship

RTI InternationalResearch Triangle Park, NC
The Center for Aerosol and Nanomaterials Engineering at RTI International is offering a Nanobiotechnology Research Internship for undergraduate and graduate students for Summer 2013. The use of metal oxide nanomaterials in industrial, household, and medicinal products (e.g. cosmetics, paints, and implantable devices) is increasingly widespread and contact with these materials is not only unavoidable, but exposure is often intentional. The intern will have an integral role in research efforts to further understand and predict the effects of metal oxide nanomaterials and how these man-made materials interact with biological processes. Furthermore, the intern will collaborate with leading nanotechnology experts to evaluate metal oxide nanomaterials to protect human health and the environment, leading to possible research publication co-authorship.
