Neelina Malsch: Director of Malsch TechnoValuation where she specialises in science communication and trend analyses of research, applications, commercialisation and societal aspects of nanotechnology and related areas of research. She has studied what researchers, industrialists, governments and civil society do with or expect from nanotechnology in Europe since 1995. Malsch has assessed trends in nanotechnology Research and Technology Development and start up companies in EU member states; and written and studied scenarios for biomedical, biodefence, space and environmental applications of nanotechnology, nanoelectronics as well as public awareness of nanotechnology. She has been involved in European projects and writing articles and studies or assisting in preparing conferences and workshops for private clients. Before starting her company, she had been involved in studies about nanotechnology in Europe since 1995, at the Scientific and Technological Options Assessment Unit of the European Parliament in Luxemburg (1995-1996) and the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies of the EC Joint Research Centre in

Nanotechnology in Biology and Medicine: Methods, Devices, and Applications The combination of biology and nanotechnology has led to a new generation of nanodevices that make it possible to characterize the chemical, mechanical, and other molecular properties, as well as discover novel phenomena and biological processes occurring at the molecular level. These advances provide science with a wide range of tools for biomedical applications in therapeutic, diagnostic, and preventive medicine. Nanotechnology in Biology and Medicine: Methods, Devices, and Applications integrates interdisciplinary research and recent advances in instrumentation and methods for applying nanotechnology to various areas in biology and medicine. Pioneers in the field describe the design and use of nanobiosensors with various analytical techniques for the detection and monitoring of specific biomolecules, including cancer cells. The text focuses on the design of novel bio-inspired materials, particularly for tissue engineering applications. Each chapter provides introductory material
including a description of methods, protocols, instrumentation, and applications, as well as a collection of published data with an extensive list of references. An authoritative reference written for a broad audience, Nanotechnology in Biology and Medicine: Methods, Devices, and Applications provides a comprehensive forum that integrates interdisciplinary research to present the most recent advances in protocols, methods, instrumentation, and applications of nanotechnology in biology and medicine.
