Nano studies

The Human Genome Project was also successfully completed in 2003, and the editor of this volume manages to capture the spirit of these two merging technologies by collating a ten-volume series on nanotechnologies for the life sciences, the first part of which is aptly titled 'Biofunctionalization of Nanomaterials'. Chapters two, three, four, five, and 11 present different functionalisation strategies and applications of carbon nanotubes, magnetic nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, phospholipid polymer nanoparticles and gelatin nanoparticles, respectively.
