about

From 2019 to 2024: Advancing research, innovation and training in nanomedicines to maintain Canada as the world leader in the field.

The NanoMedicines Innovation Network (NMIN) was funded from April 2019 to July 2024 by the Government of Canada through the Networks of Centres of Excellence (NCE) Program.

NMIN advanced “smart” medicines to cure disease by delivering small molecule drugs more specifically to disease sites and enabling the clinical use of gene therapies.
