Acknowledgement   The Professional Training Certificates in Nanotechnology is   funded by the following: 1. a grant awarded under the President’s High-Growth Job Training Initiative, as implemented by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment & Training Administration. 2. In partnership with the International Business Performance, a division of the San Jose/Evergreen Community College District, the California Institute of Nanotechnology has recently received a grant under the Responsive Training Fund for Incumbent Workers by the Chancellor's Office of the California Community Colleges. Chancellor's Office of the California Community Colleges           California Institute of Nanotechnology   The California Institute of Nanotechnology ’s mission is to conduct research and development and provide professional education and training in the frontier of nanotechnology to meet the needs of the emerging industry for the benefit of the society. The California Institute of Nanotechnology conducts advanced & applied research in nanotechnology to help solve major problems facing mankind such as diseases, shortage of energy and global environmental issues. The Institute facilitates the partnership and collaboration within California while reaching out to other stakeholders in the US and around the world to inspire the new generation of scientists, researchers and practitioners to focus on the positive applications of emerging technologies for the biomedical and clean environment usage. The Institute does not endorse nor support any applications which uses and misuses the advanced technology for destructive purposes. California Institute of Nanotechnology serves as the central hub to manage a number of projects such as: Conducting advanced R&D in nanomaterials & nanomedicine Developing new nanocrystalline and nano-thin film for usage in solar system products Developing guidelines for quality control of nanoparticles products; Developing nanotoxicology methodologies; Developing framework for occupation health & safety regulations; Studying societal & environmental impact of converging technologies Developing nano-manufacturing framework and initiatives; Developing international curricula for education and training; Providing education & workforce training to help dislocated workers in California to have high skilled jobs in the industry; Facilitating venture investment for start-up companies News:   June 19, 2007: The Director of the California Institute of Nanotechnology, Lloyd (Loi) Tran was awarded an issued patent number 7,232,798 by the United States Patent Trade Mark Office for his invention on Neuroprotection and Neuroegenesis.   June 19, 2007: Lloyd L.
