Over the course of millions of years, living organisms have developed ingenious "nanomachines": entities that act like "green" technology on the scale of a nanometre (one-millionth of a millimetre). These microscopic machines allow an organism to produce and store clean energy, as well as create molecular systems that protect it from toxic substances, tumors, viruses and bacteria. Dr. Alexis Vallée-Bélisle, Canada Research Chair in Bioengineering and Bio-nanotechnology, wants to reveal the secrets behind these nanomachines, opening the door to the creation of revolutionary nanotechnologies that could have a major impact on global health and the environment.

在数百万年的时间里，生物体已经发展出了巧妙的“纳米机器”：在纳米（百万分之一毫米）尺度上表现出“绿色”技术的实体。这些微观机器允许生物体产生和储存清洁能源，并创造分子系统，保护其免受有毒物质，肿瘤，病毒和细菌的侵害。加拿大生物工程和生物纳米技术研究主席Alexis Vallée-Bélisle博士希望揭示这些纳米机器背后的秘密，为创造革命性的纳米技术打开大门，这些技术可能对全球健康和环境产生重大影响。
