Carolina Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence

The Carolina Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence (CCNE) is an NCI-funded multidisciplinary collaboration among a range of disciplines including departments of Pharmacy, Radiation Oncology, Chemistry, Genetics, Radiology, Hematology/Oncology, Microbiology & Immunology and Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.

CCNE focuses on exploiting the host response through nano approaches for cancer disease management and treatment. CCNE proposes developing targeted methods for the delivery of biologics, immunologic-modifiers and chemotherapies against melanoma and non-small cell lung cancers, utilizing innovative nanotechnologies developed here at UNC-Chapel Hill.
