Abstract :
The fundamental challenges in modern biomedical science often arise from the inherent complexity of the biomolecular systems that serve as the foundations from which sensing and therapeutic platforms are developed to address. Emergent diagnostic and therapeutic platforms for nanoengineered medicine are discussed here.
