ACT SUMMER SCHOOLS
A week on Recent Trends on Nanobiotechnology
13-17 June 2010
“Nanobiotechnology: SMALL Science, BIG Consequences”
Nanobiotechnology: Combining nanoscale engineering with biology to manipulate either living systems or to build biologically inspired materials at
Applications of Nanotechnology in Biological Systems: The biological and medical research communities have exploited the unique properties
of nanomaterials for various applications (e.g., contrast agents for cell imaging and therapeutics for treating cancer). Terms such as biomedical anotechnology,nanobiotechnology,and nanomedicine are used to describe this hybrid field.
