Nanotechnology is of great importance to molecular biology and medicine because life processes are maintained by the action of a series of molecular nanomachines in the cell machinery. Recent advances in nanotechnology offer great potential applications in biomedical research and clinical diagnostics, and the development of a novel tool-kit is critical to understand the inner world of complex biological nanosystems at cell, tissue and whole-body level. In particular, the unique combinations of material properties that can be achieved with nanomaterials provide new opportunities in biomedical applications, in which a number of functional nanomaterials have been investigated and become a new interdisciplinary frontier between biomedical science and materials engineering. In this talk, engineering strategies of functional nanomaterials and their applications for diagnostics and therapeutics will be discussed. The successful demonstrations of functional nanomaterials are expected to contribute on better understanding of living systems and promising translational nanomedicine. |
