The significance of these investigations lies in the development of platform technologies including nanoscale molecular imaging, drug delivery, gene delivery, and diagnostic approaches. Dendrimer-based nanomedicine was developed for protein mimicry research, nanopharmaceuticals, diagnostic imaging with contrast agents, and targeted drug delivery in cancer cells. In Canada some of the important nanomedicine research areas include intelligent drug delivery systems; vaccine and gene delivery nanosystems; polymeric systems and devices; biochips; lab-on-achip; artificial cells; anti-cancer, immune-, neural-and musculoskeletal systems; nanoscale targeting; tissue and cellular engineering; novel biomaterials; and molecular imaging. For the junior YIA scientists, Jean-Christophe Rochet of Purdue University received first place for his work to develop nanoimaging-based approaches for detection and analysis of protein misfolding states.	./cache/cord-258784-9bdd9krr.txt	./txt/cord-258784-9bdd9krr.txt
