Title: “Fundamentals and Design of Nanostructures for Nanomedecine Applications”

Abstract: In the past decades intensive research and development have been devoted to bring basic science, engineering, biology and medicine together to obtain innovative approaches and solutions to current health problems. Nanomedicine, the application of nanotechnology that deals with its applications to the medical world, is one of the most noteworthy examples of this convergence. This talk deals with the applications of optics to nanomedecine, mostly emphasising the physics and engineering developments.
