Nanotechnology for genomic signal processing in cancer research - A focus on the genomic signal processing hardware design of the nanotools for cancer ressearch

Nanotechnology has recently been applied to study dynamic cellular processes, such as cell cycles and cell migration, providing rich spatial and temporal phenotype information. Tremendous opportunities and challenges exist in combining nanotechnology with signal processing techniques to develop faster, smaller, yet more accurate and sensitive biomedical devices for cancer genomics and proteomics to obtain a better understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of different kinds of cancers. In this article, we present the applications of new nanoscale solutions that include nanoparticles and sensing devices for genomic signal processing (GSP) in cancer research
