MCN Technology Fellows 2011-2012 Announced!
MCN is pleased to announce the selection of eight MCN Technology Fellows for 2011-2012.
Selected from a very competitive field of applicants, the Fellows cover a wide range of research areas including plasmonics, micro/nanofluidics and biotechnology. The Technology Fellows will significantly expand the expertise available and active research conducted at MCN. The eight Fellows will be awarded a package of benefits including access to MCN equipment and on-site office and hot desk spaces. In return, the Fellows will assist MCN instrument managers on relevant MCN client projects, act as consultants with MCN staff in discussions with selected external clients, and represent MCN at selected conferences and media/public engagements.
