Integration of nanotechnology with biology and medicine will result in major medical advances

ized dots embedded in tiny beads made of polymer material, can be finely tuned to a myriad of different colors that can tag a multitude of different proteins or genetic sequences in a process called "multiplexing."

By chemically binding the quantum dots to particular genes and proteins, scientists including Dr. Nie are developing molecular nanoprobes to rapidly analyze biopsy tissue from cancer patients, to monitor the effectiveness of drug therapy, as scaffolding in tissue engineering, and as "smart bombs" to deliver controlled amounts of drugs into genetically classified tumor cells.
