About NanoHealth Alliance
The Alliance for NanoHealth is comprised of seven world-renowned universities and institutions within the Texas Medical Center and the Greater Houston Region. The Texas Medical Center is the largest consortium of health care facilities in the world, where the more than forty institutions, including two medical schools, four nursing schools, and thirteen hospitals, have over 5 million patient visits each year.
The Alliance for NanoHealth (ANH) is the first multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional collaborative research endeavor aimed solely at using nanotechnology to bridge the gaps between medicine, biology, materials science, computer technology and public policy. The mission of the Alliance is to collectively bridge the disciplines to develop nanotechnology-based solutions to unresolved problems in medicine. Its principal goal is to provide new clinical approaches to saving lives through better diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

Member institutions include the Baylor College of Medicine, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Rice University, the University of Houston, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Texas A&M University and the University of Texas Medical Branch.
ANH institutions are committed to develop and apply nanotechnology tools in the battle against heart disease, cancer, diabetes, stroke, and infection. The willingness to share strengths among the disciplines with educational and training activities as well as welcoming new scientific associations provides a rich collaborative foundation upon which the ANH has established a wealth of research and development opportunities.
