Northwestern University has been a trailblazer of the relatively new field of nanoscience. Northwestern’s International Institute for Nanotechnology has brought together some of the greatest minds in chemistry, biology, medicine and engineering for nearly 25 years. Inspired by Northwestern’s work, in particular the biomedical application of materials, Shana Kelley, PhD, pursued a career in nanotechnology. A few years ago, she joined the institution that led her to the field. Now, as president of the new Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Chicago, Kelley leads innovators from across Chicago in their mission to understand and control inflammation, a primary driver of disease. Kelley’s research has led to the creation of groundbreaking technology, including nanosensors that can detect patient biomarkers at home. In this episode, she discusses the importance of collaboration, the process of product development and the evolving landscape of the field of nanotechnology.
