2 Introduction of workshop Nanotechnology poses a new frontier in science and technology. The essence of nanotechnology is the ability to work at the atomic and molecular levels, to create novel structures or devices with fundamentally new molecular organization. Novel materials engineered at the nanometer scale (nanomaterials) are indispensable elements on the whole field of nanotechnology. They can be considered as the most important crossing between basic research and marketable products and processes. Nanomaterial show great market potential, e.g. by substituting other materials or by making available new functionalities and thus enabling new products. The fact that the dimensions of nanomaterials are analogous to those of natural biological structures such as proteins and DNA allow for the direct integration of nanomaterials into the biological systems. Last, it offers a platform for the emerging research field of bio-nanotechnology. Bio-nanotechnology can be viewed as an attempt to reproduce cellular basic building blocks or molecular design principles by means of highly organized structures based on nanomaterials. This enable scientists and engineers to create bio-inspired nanodevices with life-science applications. This challenge requires and interdisciplinary research effort that can be translated directly into new technologies and products for biomedical applications. This workshop is designed for participants; i) to get a thorough understanding of how molecules, sub-cellular entities, cells, tissues and organs function and how they are structured. ii) to understand how man-made nanomaterials can structurally mimic nature and complement each other. iii) to understand how the fabrication of nano-engineered materials and devices is considered to complement with the design of natural systems so that the engineered micro-nano-featured systems can be applied to biology and biomedicine to enable new functionalities and new devices. Workshop objectives This workshop aims at bringing together seasoned and new medical and industrial practitioners, engineers, academicians, researchers and graduate students in the field of biomedical imaging, devices, agents and applications, and providing a platform to foster sharing and collaboration in bio-medical science and engineering research, development and commercialization areas.
