About the course

Nanotechnology allows the creation and use of functionalized structures, devices, and systems that take advantage of specific properties of matter that exist at the nanoscale. The integration of biomolecular engineering, nanotechnology, and biology is expected to produce major breakthroughs in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. Due to the size-compatibility of nano-scale structures with proteins and nucleic acids, the design, synthesis and application of nanoprobes, nanocarriers and nanomachines provide unprecedented opportunities for achieving a better control of biological processes, and drastic improvements in disease detection, therapy, and prevention.
