The 6. NanoBio-Europe conference was opened in the Halle Münsterland. Even the US-American ambassador in Germany, Philip D. Murphy, visited the event and showed that the USA and Germany are the most important partners in the technology development. But outstanding scientists in the area of Nanobio-Medicine like Mauro Ferrari from Texas were also present. A pivotal aim of the research in this area focuses on drug development for cancer therapies. Nevertheless, the nanotechnology offers not only infinite possibilities, but also potential risks for environment and health must be considered like Antje Grobe of the Risk Dialogue Foundation illustrated.

At the 6. NanoBio-Europe conference Dr. Antje Grobe of the Risk Dialogue Foundation (St. Gallen) gave an interview about the advantages and disadvantages of nanotechnology. In 2008 the last survey was executed in Germany. At that time 80 percent of the interviewed person evaluated nanoproducts positively, nevertheless, they mentioned risks for health and environment. But a general statement whether nanomaterials are dangerous or safe can Dr. Grobe not make. As a result she indicates that always the isolated case should be tested. In 2009 three big projects were finished which have to be evaluated now. At the same time a new project which deals with the environmental safety started.

Yesterday began the three-day NanoBio-Europe conference in the Münsterland Halle. About 300 researchers from different disciplines discuss during the next days how nanotechnology can be used in the medicine. Cristian Strassert is one of them. He has developed together with Prof. Luisa de Cola and five other scientists of the Center for NanoTechnology (CeNTech) Nanoparticles which could help to carry medicaments thus in the body that they reach their aims directly and release no side effects. Martin Stremmel, sales representative of the company Nikon, which is also located in the CeNTech, presents at the accompanying exhibition microscopes that makes single cells visible. Thus small things become visible and more and more things possible. Some of it are at the moment still dreams of the future and ignites presumably the one or other discussion at the conference.
