报告内容摘要：
      最近纳米技术的发展为医学提供了一个前所未有的机遇。纳米材料有着和生物蛋白及核酸分子大小相仿的尺度， 这使得纳米科学技术有潜力成为一种能更好地控制生物反应过程的有力手段， 从而促进人类对疾病的检测、治疗和预防。在这个报告中， 将展示我们和世界上其他实验室在纳米医学中的最新研究动态，包括制备用于分子医学影像的纳米探针、运输药物和基因的纳米载体和细胞内的纳米机器。 此外，将具体举例说明纳米医学在治疗癌症、心血管疾病和镰状细胞病上的应用前景。

报告人简介：
      Dr. Gang Bao is Robert A. Milton Chair of Biomedical Engineering and a College of Engineering Distinguished Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University.  He is Director of the NHLBI Program of Excellence in Nanotechnology at Emory University and Georgia Tech, and Director of the NIH Nanomedicine Development Center at Georgia Tech.  Dr. Bao is a Fellow of the American Association of Advancement in Science (AAAS), a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), and a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.
      Dr. Bao’s current research is focused on the development of nanotechnology and biomolecular engineering approaches for biological and disease studies, including molecular beacons, magnetic nanoparticle probes, quantum dot bioconjugates, activitable molecular probes, and protein tagging/targeting methods.  These approaches have been applied to cancer research, the analysis and detection of plaque formation in cardiovascular disease, viral infection detection, and the studies of nucleoprotein machines.
