Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology and Medicine
纳米技术在生物医药中的应用

ABSRACT
Biology functions at the nanoscale. Thus, there are special opportunities not only to make biological measurements using nanotechnology, but also to interact directly in order to influence biological outcomes. Nanoscience and nanotechnology developed from chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, medicine, toxicology, and a host of other fields. Along the way, we taught each other our problems, challenges, and approaches. The interdisciplinary communication skills that were developed and are now part of our training remain unique to the field. As a result, nanoscience contributes to a wide range of other fields, such as neuroscience and the microbiome.
生物是纳米维度的科学，纳米技术既提供了表征和理解生物现象的平台，又拥有着和生物体相互作用以影响其功能的特殊优势。纳米科技是从化学、物理学、生物学、工程学、医学、毒理学以及许多其他领域发展而来的。在这一发展的过程中，各个领域交叉合作，互为依托。如今，跨学科交流已经成为纳米领域不可或缺的部分，也是这个领域独一无二的优势。纳米科学已经在生物医药的各个领域做出了突出的贡献，比如神经科学和微生物群落。在这个报告中，我将会具体讨论纳米科学和技术在生物医药中的应用，以及纳米科学如何促进这个交叉领域的发展。
BIOGRAPHY
Paul S. Weiss is a nanoscientist and holds a UC Presidential Chair and is a distinguished professor of chemistry, bioengineering, and materials science at UCLA. He studies the ultimate limits of miniaturization, developing new tools and methods for atomic-resolution and spectroscopic imaging and chemical patterning. He applies these advances in other areas including neuroscience, microbiome studies, quantum information, and high-throughput cellular therapies. He has won awards in science, engineering, teaching, publishing, and communications. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, AAAS, ACS, AIMBE, APS, AVS, Canadian Academy of Engineering, and MRS and an honorary fellow of the Chinese Chemical Society. He champions global efforts in nanoscience and nanotechnology. He is the founding and current editor-in-chief of ACS Nano.
