CNF and the Cornell Institute of Biotechnology (Biotech) partnered to further advance Cornell’s excellence in life science characterization and imaging capabilities. Under this arrangement, CNF provides partial support for one senior staff member in Biotech, and is integrating activities of this partnership into our user support and new project support process. CNF cleanroom and Biotech users are now able to mutually access resources in both centers. The expertise of the Biotech staff in imaging a wide range of materials will add considerably to our capabilities. Likewise, Biotech users will have easy access to CNF’s fabrication facilities and staff expertise. The mission of this partnership is to foster and enhance the convergence of research fields while unifying new approaches and ideas to inspire innovation and discovery.
