This symposium will feature talks from leading scholars with an interest in biological- and nature-inspired nanotechnology. This research is driven by a co-dependent relationship between humans and nature and includes topics such as self-assembled molecular architectures, bio-engineered nanomaterials, biomimetics, and drug delivery. Due to the field's rapid emergence, potential environmental and public risks as well as ethical concerns will also be addressed. Please join us at Naturally Nano to discover new connections between nature, engineering, and nanotechnology and have the opportunity to engage in discussions concerning science, safety, ethics, and policy that surround this rapidly growing field.
