The Royal Society of Chemistry 11 November - Bio-nanotechnology, English Heritage Lecture Theatre, Savile Row, London.
Nanotechnology offers many challenges to chemists; indeed their skills are critical in many potential new
technologies. Nowhere is this more true than in the biological applications. The purpose of this meeting is
to bring together leading UK scientists working on the biological applications of nanotechnology. Through it,
it is hoped to begin forging a definable community with interests in the area, and to generate impetus for
continued activities into the future.
