Therapeutic Nanomaterials made from ProteinsJulie A. Champion, PhD, Assistant Professor, School of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, GeorgiaInstitute of Technology Protein drugs can provide a key advantage over small molecule drugs; they evolved to perform theirfunction, while small molecules are often selected for “best” function compared to a pool of candidates.However, pro...

Recent advances in nanotechnology have established its importance in several areas including medicine. The myriad of applications in oncology range from detection and diagnosis to drug delivery and treatment. Although nanotechnology has attracted a lot of attention, the practical application of nanotechnology to clinical cancer care is still in its infancy. This review summarizes the role that ...

This paper sets out some challenges for Ireland’s contribution to nanotechnology public engagement in the context of current STS and science communication theoreticalpractice approaches. I report on a pilot set of public engagement activities and accompanying ‘multi-sited ethnographic’ and frame analysis methodologies. I reflect on how the theoretical context of these methods and findings prese...

The application of nanotechnology for cancer therapy has received considerable attention in recent years. Cancer nanotechnology (an interdisciplinary area of research in science, engineering and medicine) is an upcoming field with extensive applications. It provides a unique approach and comprehensive technology against cancer through early diagnosis, prediction, prevention, personalized therap...
