Exhibit 31.1

                            CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO
                  SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

         I,   Edward  F.  Cowle,   Chief   Executive   Officer  of   Nanoscience
Technologies, Inc. (the "registrant"), certify that:

         1. I have  reviewed  this annual  report on Form 10-KSB of  Nanoscience
         Technologies, Inc.;

         2. Based on my  knowledge,  this  annual  report  does not  contain any
         untrue  statement of a material  fact or omit to state a material  fact
         necessary to make the  statements  made, in light of the  circumstances
         under which such  statements  were made, not misleading with respect to
         the period covered by this annual report;

         3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
         information  included  in this  annual  report,  fairly  present in all
         material  respects the financial  condition,  results of operations and
         cash flows of the  registrant as of, and for, the periods  presented in
         this annual report;

         4. The registrant's  other certifying officer and I are responsible for
         establishing  and  maintaining  disclosure  controls and procedures (as
         defined  in  Exchange  Act  Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e))  for  the
         registrant and we have:

              a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that
              material  information  relating to the  registrant,  including its
              consolidated  subsidiaries,  is made known to us by others  within
              those  entities,  particularly  during  the  period in which  this
              annual report is being prepared;

              b) evaluated  the  effectiveness  of the small  business  issuer's
              disclosure  controls and  procedures  and presented in this report
              our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
              and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report
              based on such evaluation; and

              c)  disclosed  in  this  report  any  change  in the  registrant's
              internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
              registrant's  most  recent  fiscal  quarter  that  has  materially
              affected,  or is  reasonably  likely  to  materially  affect,  the
              registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and

                                       -1-
<PAGE>

         5. The  registrant's  other  certifying  officer and I have  disclosed,
         based on our most recent evaluation,  to the registrant's  auditors and
         the audit  committee of  registrant's  board of  directors  (or persons
         performing the equivalent function):

              a) all  significant  deficiencies  and material  weaknesses in the
              design or operation of our financial  reporting  internal controls
              which are reasonably  likely to adversely  affect the registrant's
              ability  to  record,  process,   summarize  and  report  financial
              information; and

              b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
              other  employees who have a significant  role in the  registrant's
              internal controls over financial reporting.
