  1. Challenge: detecting cancer cells in the presence of normal cells Idea: can brushes change interaction of cell with nanomaterial? Sokolov, et al., Nature Nanotechnology, 2009

  2. Three key attributes of nanomaterials • Properties depend on SIZE • High surface area compared to bulk • Defects can be controlled Flickr: stephenwmorris

  3. Nanotube absorption overlaps ‘therapeutic window’ XM Tuet al.Nature460, 250-253 (2009)
