Bionanotechnology拥有令人兴奋的机会，可以在生物工程和医学领域取得重大影响。精致的生物纳米结构是细胞相互之间以及与细胞外基质相互作用的一种自然手段。生物纳米技术提供了在纳米级（比平均人类头发的直径小100,000倍）的能力，以洞察生物系统（例如细胞或组织）的结构特征，并开发用于诊断，治疗和组织的纳米生物材料/医疗设备。再生。正在进行的工作包括开发可表征细胞纳米结构和功能的纳米探针，设计用于治疗，局部治疗和功能组织修复/再生的多功能纳米生物系统，用于染色体分选的创新技术，用于表征生理生理学的
Bionanotechnology holds exciting opportunities to bring high-impact advances in the field of bioengineering and medicine. Exquisite biological nanostructures are a natural means by which cells interact with one another and with the extracellular matrix. Bionanotechnology offers at the nanoscale (100,000 times smaller than the diameter of the average human hair) the ability to provide insight into the structural features of biological systems such as cell or tissue as well as to develop nanobiomaterials/medical devices for diagnostics, therapeutics and tissue regeneration. Ongoing work includes development nanoprobes that can characterize the nanoscale structure and function of cells, design of multi-functional nanobiosystems for therapeutics, localized therapy delivery and for functional tissue repair/regeneration, innovative techniques for chromosome sorting, development of technologies to characterize the physio-chemical, structural and biological properties of nanostructured assemblies/materials, design of artificial biomaterials through molecular synthesis and nanoscale self-assembly.
