CENIDE, the Center for Nanointegration Duisburg-Essen, represents the appropriate focus of research at the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE): Since 2005, it links the research and teaching activities that deal with the nano dimension, in natural science, engineering and in medicine. Partnerships with external members with similar research approaches strengthen the skills spectrum: https://www.uni-due.de/cenide/en/
