Nanomaterials for Application in Medicine
This volume contains research reports presented during the NATO Advanced
Research Workshop (ARW) “Materials for Application in Medicine and
Biology” held in Bonn, Germany, from October 4 to 6, 2006 at the center
of advanced european studies and research (caesar).
The application of nanomaterials in medicine and biology can be understood
as the gathering and use of our current knowledge on nanoscale features of biological
systems in order to learn how to design nanodevices for biomedical uses.
The success of this approach, known as nano-engineering, will allow scientists
to devise strategies for the design and construction of nanodevices to be used in
clinical trials (diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring), as well as to develop
products with potential applications in regenerative medicine.
One goal of this conference was to bring together researchers from Eastern
and Western countries, offering them a platform to meet and discuss results of
their research work. Thus, the aim of this conference was not only to present the
advancements in research achieved during the past years, but it had also been
conceived as a concerted European effort where expertise, technologies, and
ideas were broadly shared to accelerate this progress. The conference provided
an interactive forum with more than 100 participants from 15 countries.
The 15 selected papers cover the following topics: (1) nanodevices for
biomedical applications; (2) DNA-nanoparticle conjugates; (3) transmembrane
delivery of macromolecules by nanomaterials and/or polyelectrolytes;
(4) glyconanoparticles for biomedical purposes; (5) optical properties of gold
nanoparticles and biosensing; (6) magnetic behavior of S-capped gold nanoparticles;
(7) quantum dots for biological tagging; (8) polymer-based capsules;
(9) theoretical approaches to nanoparticles.
The conference was organized by the Department of Nanoparticle
Technology at the center of advanced european studies and research (caesar),
with Professor Dr. Giersig as head-organizer, and Professor Dr. Khomutov
from Moscow State University as co-organizer, in full cooperation with
caesar, and generous financial support by NATO.
We would especially like to thank the NATO Science Programme for
providing a generous grant for the realization of this conference. We would
also like to acknowledge and thank all those who participated in this event
including those who provided expertise through the presentation of their
research as well as everyone who engaged in discussions and contributed to
the organization and planning of the conference – in short, all who helped
to make the NATO Advanced Research Workshop 2006 a success.
