Converging technologies for nanobio-applications
This Thematic Series follows the symposium “Converging technology for nanobio applications” of the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS), held in Lille, France, from May 26th to 30th, 2014. Many innovations in biomedicine are nowadays driven by nanoscale science and nanotechnology. Scientists working in these fields imagine and create systems useful for medical research and applications such as biomarkers, biosensors, diagnostic, imaging or vectorization for drug delivery.
