  1. Economic Implications of Nanobiotechnology Rudy Juliano Professor of Pharmacology & Principal Investigator Carolina Center for Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence

  2. What is Nanobiotechnology? • Examples of Nanobiotechnology Research at UNC (Carolina Center for Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence, C-CCNE) 3. Potential Economic Impact of Nanobiotechnology

  3. The Nanosize Range: About 10-100 Nanometers A nanometer = 1 billionth of a meter

  4. Why Nanotechnology? The physical properties of materials on the nano-scale often differ from bulk properties (conductivity, optical properties, chemical reactivity, other properties) This means new opportunities in materials science and device fabrication Predicted $1 Trillion market for nanotech products within 10 years

  5. Why Nanobiotechnology? Human cells function as assemblages of multi-protein nanomachines (ribosomes, proteosomes, mitochondria, signalosomes, focal contacts) Nanotechnology lets us intervene in cellular events on the cell’s own size scale Multiple potential applications to diagnosis, Imaging, therapy
