The Tool Repository at Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology gives an overview of nanobiotechnology related tools and materials that are available from researchers at Johns Hopkins University. You can use the repository to find research groups who are synthesizing novel materials or developing new tools for nanobio research.

How does it work?

1) Find a tool that you are interested in.
2) Contact the researcher by clicking on the lab link.

FAQ

What materials or tools can be uploaded into the repository?

Any material or tool that is of potential use for nanobio research can be uploaded into the repository. Materials may include: particles, fibers, scaffolds, novel architectures, inorganic/organic probes, biosensors, live cell biosensors, etc. Tools may include methods for particle tracking, methods for patterning and/or functionalizing surfaces, methods for cell patterning and manipulation, microscopy/imaging tools, novel microfluidic devices, etc.

Does the material or tool have to be nano?

No. The material or tool should be of interest for nanobio researchers.

Who can upload materials or tools into the repository?

The Johns Hopkins NanoBio Tool Repository is currently by invitation only. If you like to be considered for an invitation you can email inbt@jhu.edu.

Can I enter more than one tool from my group?

Yes, you can enter multiple materials or tools into the repository.

How long does an entry remain in the repository?

Entries will remain in the repository for at least six months. You will be asked whether you would like to maintain the entry after that period.

What do I need to prepare for making an entry into the Tool Repository?

You need the following information:

• a title (75 chars max)
• an image (up to 5 images can be uploaded - these can be illustrations, microscope images, or other data)
• a summary of the material or tool (500 chars max)
• relevant publications (up to 10 relevant peer review journal publications)
