In order to promote basic and applied research in the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology, Symbiosis International (Deemed University) established a Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (SCNN) that could ultimately innovate and develop new-generation materials/devices for societal benefits.

Research activities at SCNN focus on:

• Advanced nanomaterials synthesis, characterization techniques as well as the development of adapted theoretical and numerical tools.
• Developing ultrasensitive devices for point-of-care diagnostic systems and environmental pollution monitoring.

The Centre will create opportunities for international exchange of scientists and students, set up collaborative arrangements; conduct seminars/workshops/conferences/extension lectures to promote Nanoscience & Nanotechnology; establish joint collaborative programs with academic institutes as well as industry promoting interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary scientific research.
