Nanotechnology in Disease Detection and Treatment: Disease Markers

Nanotechnology is defined as the fabrication of functional materials, devices and systems through control of matter at the scale of 1 to 100 nanometers and exploitation of novel properties and phenomena at the same scale. The potential application highlighted in this publication is the detection of emerging diseases towards early detection and prevention for which nanotechnology could offer sensitive tools. Current topics covered in this publication are the use of lasers to measure optical ...
