The success of nanomaterials in these fields is founded on our advanced understanding of molecular mechanisms in biology, the progress of nanostructure sciences in physics, chemistry, and engineering, and our quickly improving ability to mimic biological signals by increasingly complex synthetic structures and interaction functionalities. Examples are well defined branched macromolecular architectures, tertiary assemblies, conjugates with biomolecules, inorganic-organic hybrid structures, reversibly linked superstructures, particulate assemblies and nanoobjects.
Biomolecule ligation, molecular recognition, molecularly programmed and adaptive structure formation, self-healing properties, molecular energy conversion systems and replication ability can enable a novel interactivity to effect living organisms with a yet not known precision and specificity.
Emphasis will be put on
* new concepts for targeted drug, gene and protein delivery, and overcoming physiological barriers,
* materials for molecular imaging, diagnostics
* multifunctional coatings
* bioresponsive materials.
In order to promote the advancement in the emerging field ofnanomedicine, the conference will aim on bringing together expertsfrom different disciplines from academy and industry to discuss thescope and recent progress in the field and stimulate morecollaborative efforts.
For young researchers it is possible to request financial support by the organizers. Please tick the corresponding checkbox on the application form. Support is not guaranteed, depending on the number of applications the committee will decide whom to support, so please wait for notification!

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
