Nanotecnología viva

Drawing on her experience as one of today's leading researchers in this field, Contera describes the exciting ways in which nanotechnology enables biology to be understood, interacted with, and manipulated. A historic breakthrough that is revolutionizing medicine in ways that will have profound effects on our lives. From nanoscale machines that can target cancer cells and deliver drugs more effectively, to nanoantibiotics that fight resistant bacteria, to engineering tissues and organs for transplantation or pharmacology research.The future will bring with it the fusion of nanotechnology with biology, physics, medicine and cutting-edge fields such as robotics and artificial intelligence, ushering in a new "transmaterial era". As we contemplate the power, benefits, and risks of this advance, Contera invites us to reflect on the opportunities emerging from the lab to use technology to create a more just and humane future.
