Nanotechnology Meet Immunology: Nanomaterials for Enhanced Immunity

The design and chemical synthesis of multifunctional nanomaterials have been providing potential applications in biomedical fields such as molecular imaging and drug delivery. Recently, bio-derived and/or synthetic nanostructured materials capable of modulating the immune system have been also issues of interest in immunology-related nanomedicine fields. In this talk, the recent research results on the development of nanostructured materials for enhanced immunity would be presented. I will introduce the chemical strategy for the combination of nanostructured materials and bioactive compounds to improve both anti-cancer immunity and vaccine delivery efficiency.
