Molecular Foundry Presentation

Reminder - Now! Please bring your lunch and join us.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dr. David Bunzow, head of the User Program, and Dr. Aditi Risbud, a
material scientist who
oversees the PR/Outreach, both from the Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory Molecular Foundry, will be here to talk about
opportunities for SNF users to access the Foundry for their work:

Tuesday, August 18th
noon
Allen (formerly CIS) 101 (The Linville Room)

Here is an abstract of the talk:

This presentation will provide an overview of The Molecular Foundry
and the user program through which it provides researchers from
academia, industry and government no-cost access to expert scientific
personnel, and state-of-the-art instrumentation and techniques for
the advancement of nanoscale materials research. The Foundry is an
especially valuable resource for users pursuing multidisciplinary
research in the fields of biology, energy, engineering and physics.
Researchers can access six in-house user facilities for the
investigation of biological, organic, inorganic and microfabricated
nanoscale building blocks and their integration into complex
functional assemblies. The Foundry provides unique capabilities in
nanoimaging and spectroscopy, nanointerfaces, nanofabrication and
combinatorial nanoscience. Projects are considered in three basic
categories that include options for sample-only and instrument-only
collaborations in addition to fully supported standard programs. The
Foundry conducts three announced call for proposals cycles per calendar year.
