Research output: Book chapterConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The development of innovative nanomedicines requires the implementation of new biocompatible materials and their efficient assembly into defined nanostructures. Complex and costly synthesis of these materials can be coped with biological fabrication using microorganism factories, recombinant DNA and metabolic engineering. Modern bioprocess technologies may have the key for the implementation of tomorrow's nanomedicines. This paper specifically focuses on the current state of the art of nanopharmaceuticals and their future perspectives.
