The caNanoLab project is actively involved in a variety of efforts supporting the development of standards for representing nanomaterials and their characterizations as applied to the field of nanomedicine. The caNanoLab project participates participated in the  Nanotechnology Working Group (Nano WG) which is was chartered to integrate nanotechnology information and tools to aid discovery and clinical translation in the cancer research community leveraging infrastructure components. The primary objectives of the Nano WG are were to:

  • Define and prioritize development and governance needs for the cancer nanotechnology ontology
  • Adopt and collect data sharing standards and protocols for cancer nanotechnology data
  • Develop a vision for nanoinformatics enabling information exchange with nanotechnology resources leveraging data standards

The caNanoLab project participates participated in working group objectives by assisting in the development of nanotechnology standards and the application of these standards in the caNanoLab nanotechnology resource. Information on ICR Nano WG standards leveraged by caNanoLab is provided in the subsections that follow.
