Kurzbeschreibung: Nanotechnology paves the ways to a variety of technical applications. Which of these applications are relevant for medical sciences and, most importantly, for patient care and diagnostics? These questions are addressed at the meeting. Scientists from various fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, informatics and medicine gather to discuss established and potential areas in which Nanosciences and Medical Sciences overlap. A number of questions will be addressed:

* How are supramolecular structures generated?

* Can nanomaterials constitute substrates for culturing new tissues and possibly organs?

* Will nanotechnology help to design implants with predefined biological properties?

* Can biological devices sensor the state of organs and organisms?

* Which are the perspectives for the use of nanoparticles as labels of proteins and cells or as vehicles for drug delivery?

* Which are the principles that create order from interacting biomolecules?

These and other issues will be covered by experts in their fields. In physics, chemistry and molecular biology, Hamburg is well known for its expertise in the nanosciences. The meeting should help to transfer this expertise into the clinic in order to open new perspectives for diagnosis and therapy.
