In summary: A nanobiologist is someone who studies the workings of the nanoscale, which can be defined as anything from molecules to cells to tissues to organs. Nanobiologists may focus on one particular area of nanobiology or they may be broadly interested in the field. Nanobiologists may work in academia, industry, or government.

I'm not sure where you're studying biochemistry, but at my school the biochemistry major is combined with molecular biology (I would imagine it's like this most universities). I don't know much about biology, but if you have a solid background in molecular biology, nanobiology should pretty much just be an extension of this study. I'm not sure what your question is, but I guess just keep studying and you'll work your way into nanobiology eventually.

you right i am study biology but the problem i didn't know about nanobiology so i just didn't know
where i have start and and right way should be select
please someone show me how can i start
i have question without any correct answer

I think choosing this amount of specialization this early in your career is a bad idea.

I don't think you can call "nanobiology" a "proper" field, it sound very much like re-branded molecular biology or maybe biochemistry.
The word "nano" was a buzzword a few years ago and quite a few universities/departments/groups decided to either start new groups or re-name existing research/programs to include the word "nano". Very few of those were (or are) actually working at the nanoscale (meaning nanoscale "engineering") and much of it was just chemistry.
Lately the word "bio" has appeared everywhere (and if you were doing nano-bio you could almost be sure to get funding) although that word has also been overused.
Looking at FP7 and other documents it seems "environmental" is the way to go, I am sure it is only a mater of time before there are groups for "environmental computer science", "environmental electronics" etc at some universities...


On a more serious note it is perhaps worth pointing out that it CAN be a bit risky to get a degree with a name that includes a buzzword; I actually had the opportunity to choose whether I wanted a PhD in physics or nanoscience (my department could award PhDs in both fields), I chose the former which turned out to be wise. Most people knows what a physicist does but very few have even heard of a "nanoscientist"; especially outside academia. Having a degree in "nanobiology" could certainly give you problems in the future, even if it turns out that you have basically studied biochemistry (when was the last time you saw an job ad where someone was looking for a nanobiologist?).
 

1. What is nanobiology?

Nanobiology is a field of science that focuses on the intersection of nanotechnology and biology. It involves the study and manipulation of biological systems at the nanoscale, which is on the order of a billionth of a meter.

2. What do I have to study to become a specialist in nanobiology?

To become a specialist in nanobiology, you will need to have a strong foundation in biology, chemistry, and physics. You will also need to have knowledge and skills in nanotechnology and engineering, as well as specialized training in the techniques and tools used in nanobiology research.

3. What are the career opportunities for specialists in nanobiology?

Specialists in nanobiology can find employment in a variety of industries, including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and medical devices. They may also work in research institutions, universities, or government agencies.

4. What are some current applications of nanobiology?

Nanobiology has many potential applications, including drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and biosensors for disease detection. It is also being used in the development of new materials and technologies for healthcare and environmental sustainability.

5. How is nanobiology impacting the future of medicine?

Nanobiology has the potential to revolutionize medicine by enabling more targeted and effective treatments for diseases. It also has the potential to improve diagnostic techniques and develop new therapies, such as regenerative medicine and personalized medicine.
