Bionanotechnology: The Edge of Detection
 

Researchers at the University of Houston Cullen College of Engineering are on the edge of achieving several technological advancements that will revolutionize the world of bionanotechnology. Until cures for diseases are found, such technologies will allow dangerous pathogens within the human body to be detected on the molecular level, often before disease symptoms develop. The ability for these nanodevices to alert individuals to emerging health dangers will give doctors the opportunity to treat illnesses long before they become life threatening.
