- The lack of capacity for advancing the emerging field of nanometrology can only be addressed through stra-tegic interdisciplinary collaborations that provide a stimulating and innovative research environment to catalyse and sustain a new dimension in UK research capability. In a major strategic initiative, Strathclyde University (SU) has founded a Centre for Molecular Nanometrology (2005 - to our knowledge, the first in the world) with facilities supported by the Wolfson Foundation and the Science Research Infrastructure Fund. This Centre has the ultimate goal of recording real-time images of dynamical interactions of single molecules in-situ. With the award of a Science and In-novation Award the Centre will facilitate the high quality, innovative, multidisciplinary research environment required to nurture and develop the extra capacity needed to make the UK a leader in nanometrology. A Science and Innovation Award will also bring together the Centre and medical collaborators at King's College London (KCL), bridging the molecular measurement gap to innovation in emerging areas of strategic impor-tance such as disease pathology, diagnostic tools in nanomedicine, the design of new drug treatments and new structural materials while facilitating knowledge transfer into the healthcare and chemical industries.

- The manipulation of materials at a molecular level combined with measurement on a scale approaching nanometres means that chemistry can be considered central and enabling to many disciplines such as the life sciences. The ability to produce probes that can be used to report on the biological status of a system at a molecular level is key to advancing the understanding of such systems and how disease and treatments impact on these healthy systems. There is a significant role for chemists to fulfil by providing such ability and this proposal seeks to provide the underlying support to achieve this goal. We have expertise in producing probe molecules that respond to biological stimulus in vitro and can be measured using optical spectroscopies, however, in order for them to be used in vivo new interdisciplinary collaborations need to be established and adventurous experiments attempted to transpose this science out of the test-tube and into the cell.
