The convergence of nanotechnology with biotechnology offers unprecedented opportunities to prepare nanomaterials with defined structure and function on the nanometre scale. However, the small length scales involved in nanomaterials present challenges in their characterisation, and in turn, their interaction with biological systems. The Advanced NanoBiomaterials Imaging Facility will provide state-of-the-art equipment for examining the properties of nanomaterials and their interaction with biosystems. The equipment will facilitate the development of new materials that are expected to underpin advances in drug delivery, diagnostics and implant devices, further strengthening Australia's strong reputation in these areas.

纳米技术与生物技术的融合为制备具有纳米级结构和功能的纳米材料提供了前所未有的机会。然而，纳米材料中涉及的小长度尺度在其表征方面提出了挑战，反过来，它们与生物系统的相互作用也提出了挑战。先进的纳米生物材料成像设施将提供最先进的设备，用于检查纳米材料的特性及其与生物系统的相互作用。这些设备将促进新材料的开发，这些新材料有望支撑药物输送、诊断和植入设备的进步，进一步加强澳大利亚在这些领域的良好声誉。
