Journal of Nanobiotechnology is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal communicating scientific and technological advances in the fields of medicine and biology, with an emphasis in their interface with nanoscale sciences. The journal provides biomedical scientists and the international biotechnology business community with the latest developments in the growing field of Nanobiotechnology.

Fernando Patolsky is Associate Professor at the department of Chemistry, Tel Aviv University, Israel. As a young and well-acknowledged scientist in the fields of biotechnology and nanobiotechnology, Fernando's research has focused on the development of molecular and biomolecular electronic and optical systems, aiming to establish fundamental principles for the construction of optical and electronic sensors and biosensors. These scientific activities represent a leading interdisciplinary effort to bridge chemistry, biology and materials science.

Having made seminal advances at the interface between nanoelectronics and biological systems, including post-doctoral research with Charles Lieber at Harvard University, Fernando continues to break new ground in the field of nanomedicine. His approach is unique in that it uses electrical means for label-free detection of chemical and biological species with unprecedented high sensitivity, and this will likely play a transforming role in medical diagnostics in near future. More generally, Fernando brings a broad expertise in bio-organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, biotechnology and nanotechnology to the journal. He has published more than 70 papers and book chapters since 1998, with more than 5,100 citations, that focus on the synthesis of novel nanoscale materials, the creation of electrical and optoelectrical nanoscale devices and their applications.
