  • First Online:
Bionanoelectronics

Part of the book series: NanoScience and Technology ((NANO))

Abstract

This chapter is dedicated to the applications of nanoelectronics in medicine. In fact, almost the entire book was written with this aim. However, here we will focus only on some issues specific to nanomedicine and directly related to nanoelectronics, i.e., controlled drug delivery and biochips.
