| Noted
nanoscientist, Erkki Ruoslahti, MD, PhD has assembled a
world-class board made up of some of the most cited
scientists working in nanotechnology. Including
first-rank members in the nano-disciplines of chemistry,
engineering, carbon nanotubes, physics, biology,
medicine and materials, the SAB is mandated to helping
client companies refine their science and technology, as
well as providing input on important human capital
decisions.
