A major research project on bionanotechnology starts at Chinese Academy of Sciences |
|
(Nanowerk News) Funded by the National Basic Research Program, a research project on the in-situ real-time nano-testing and characterization of single biomolecules and cells has recently been launched at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Institute of Chemistry.

|
Headed by Prof. FANG Xiaohong, the project is targeted at cells of tumors and heart muscles with an objective of developing nan-obiology and nano-medicine.
|
|
With a budget of about 13 million yuan for its first two-year implementation, the five-year project is expected to provide scientific grounds for early diagnosis of some major diseases at the cellular level and offer a technical guarantee for promoting the high-speed and burgeoning development of nano-biology and nano-medicine in China.
