Research on nanotechnology--the manipulation of matter on a molecular scale about 1,000 times smaller than the width of human hair -- has led to new medical treatments.

Local and international university researchers at the Nanotechnology in Biology and Medicine Conference will explore nanotechnology's impact on medicine and attendees will receive entrepreneurial insight.
