Foreword: Nanobiotechnology Convergence for Drug Delivery
Convergence of knowledge offers a new universe of discovery, innovation, and applications. Nanoscale science and engineering field has emerged at the confluence of many disciplines and now is converging with biotechnology, medicine, digital revolution, cognitive sciences, and artificial intelligence. “Converging technologies for improving human performance” (http://www.wtec.org/ ConvergingTechnologies/Report/NBIC_report.pdf, 2003) and “Nanotechnology convergence with modern biology and medicine” (Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2003) have been recognized as most challenging and promising domains in the field from the first years of National Nanotechnology Initiative (www.nano.gov). Now, in 2018, nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine are leading research areas of nanotechnology
