Abstract

Nanobiotechnology is known as the application of nanoscaled techniques in biology which bridges natural science to living organism for improving the quality of life of humans. Nanotechnology was first issued in 1959 and has been rapidly developed, supplying numerous benefits to basic scientific academy and to clinical application including human healthcare, specifically in cancer therapy. This chapter discusses recent advances and potentials of nanotechnology in pharmaceutics, therapeutics, biosensing, bioimaging, and gene delivery that demonstrate the multifunctionality of nanotechnology.

Keywords: Bioapplication; Bioimaging; Biosensing; Cancer therapeutics; Drug delivery; Nanomaterial; Nanomedicine.
