Nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine

Nanotechnology will impact medicine with the development of technology to enable more accurate diagnoses, or to improve the effectiveness of drug delivery. Nanobiotechnology will increase our understanding of biological processes, employing concepts like self-assembly.

This theme contains five sessions in addition to the plenary session:

• Biomolecular materials by design
• Diagnostics and biosensors
• Tissue engineering
• Drug delivery
• Nanoscale organization of biological systems
