NanoBioTechnology

Nanobiotechnology encompasses many disciplines and techniques. Here are resources for nanobiotechnology and related areas.

A catalog search on the ADVANCED KEYWORD screen works best. For example:

• Nanobiotechnology [as a GENERAL keyword]
• Nanotechnology [as a TITLE keyword]
• Nanotechnology [TITLE] and materials [GENERAL] 

Here are the books that we own in the Springer Series in Nanoscience and Technology, if you want to look at titles in only that series. 

Most of the article databases on the Engineering Databases page will be very helpful, including Compendex (a huge engineering database):

Compendex  (All US JHU)

Remember to try searching with other words, such as nanotoxicology, nanotronics, and nanoparticles. 

Or, just use  nano*  -- this will bring up all the articles with words that start with this. 

For protocols, see Nanobiotechnology Protocols, 2005

Not surprisingly, information about "nanoethics" (but use "nanotechnology" and "ethics" to get the largest number of hits) can be found in very diverse kinds of sources, including philosophical, medical, and legal, as well as in engineering databases such as Compendex (see above).

Philosopher's Index  (All US JHU)

• PubMed (use LIMITS, and under SUBSETS choose  "bioethics")

Encyclopedia of Bioethics (put "nanotechnology" in the search box):

Encyclopedia of Bioethics  (All JHU (incl. International))

Lexis-Nexis Academic and Lexis-Nexis Environmental offer law review articles and various kinds of hard-to-find information, respectively:

LexisNexis Academic New Interface  (All US JHU)

LexisNexis Environmental  (All US JHU)

Government Sites

• NIH Roadmap for Medical Research -- The NanoMedicine portion of the National Institutes of Health "roadmap" includes an overview, and lists of funded research and meetings.
• National Nanotechnology Initiative -- The NNI is a group consisting of nanotechnology-related activities of 25 Federal agencies, thirteen of which have R&D budgets that relate to nanotechnology. Here is a list of the group's publications, Congressional testimony, and more.
  
• Training grants from NCI / NSF

Reports and Online Sources

• National Academies Press -- Search for "nanotechnology" and get 130+ hits. Many of these reports are free to read online.

• A minor in this area is offered
• An "option" in this area is offered within some of the masters' programs given by  Engineering and Applied Science Programs for Professionals (EPP)
• Also, the inbt has a list of classes being offered during academic year 2007-2008 at JHU

• List of databases by subject (.e.g, engineering, chemistry)
• List of research guides by subject
• Welch Medical Library's list of electronic resources by subject
  
  
  Here is the handout for REU students (June 2, 2008).
