From a synthesis standpoint, nanotechnologies can be classified as variations of bottom-up technologies, such as self-assembly, or top-down technologies, such as lithographic methods (Box 1). Many nanotechnologies combine aspects of both strategies.
Nanobiotechnology is biotechnology at the nano scale, and it has exciting applications in drug delivery systems, diagnostic medical tests and regenerative medicine. North Carolina universities and companies are developing many new nanobiotechnology applications. The goal of this chapter is to help students understand the science concepts on which nanobiotechnology is based and explore some of the many career possibilities in this exciting field. It also is intended to provide a snapshot of some of the leading nanobiotechology research and manufacturing efforts in
