Improving lives at nano-scale
Invisible to the naked eye,Ìýnanotechnology is being combinedÌýwith biotechnology to achieve medicalÌýadvances such as the early detectionÌýof life-threatening diseases through a simple device, similar to a glucometer, for example. ShirleyÌýTang and her team believe that theÌýprimary goal of their research shouldÌýbe to help improve lives through these scientific breakthroughs.
