Abstract :
Nanobiophotonics is combination of nanotechnology and biotechnology with photonics. The basic principles and new advances in nanophotonics probes for biomedical technology and challenges in this field are presented. Bioimaging and biosensing using nanoprobes to study cellular and tissue interactions, control of excited state dynamics for photodynamic therapy, and nanocontrol dynamics in fluorescence resonance energy transfer for real time monitoring and drug delivery, as examples, are also discussed.
