The Carolina Cancer Nanotechnology Training Program is a 24-36-month mentored postdoctoral training program that is offered at The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill ( UNC Chapel Hill) with a focus area of research on cancer nanotechnology. This program includes 32 outstanding faculty members representing 14 departments in 3 Schools, including physical and material scientists, biomedical engineers, basic biomedical scientists, pharmaceutical scientists, and clinician‑scientists, all of whom have demonstrated strong interests and capabilities to work at the interface between nanoscience and cancer.

These individuals will serve as mentors to trainees, utilizing two broad approaches. The first approach involves active co‑mentorship of the trainee’s research project over a period of two years. In each case, a physical scientist and a biomedical scientist will act in tandem to guide trainee research. It is expected that this…
