Nanobiotechnology and biointerfaces are explored through interactions between nanoscale systems and biological molecules, cells and environments. This session at the World Nanotechnology Conference includes nano-bio interactions, protein corona formation, cellular uptake, DNA and protein nanotechnology, biomimetic structures, biofunctionalization and bioconjugation. Discussions will address how biological components and engineered materials are combined, characterized and investigated for different functions. The scope extends from molecular assembly and interface chemistry to cellular engineering and biologically inspired systems across the life sciences.
Abstract Scope and Participation
Submissions are invited on mechanistic studies, biological characterization, biomolecular design, interface engineering and experimental or computational investigations of nano-bio systems. Contributions need not be limited to medical applications; broader biological research and biotechnology platforms are welcome. Biologists, biochemists, materials scientists, chemists, bioengineers, industrial researchers and students are encouraged to participate in discussions connecting biological understanding with nanoscale design.
