Bio-responsive nanomaterials are of growing importance with potential applications including drug\ndelivery, diagnostics and tissue engineering. Our recent simple conceptually novel approaches to real-time\nmonitoring of protease, lipase and kinase enzyme action using modular peptide functionalized NPs will be\npresented.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe highly interdisciplinary field of Tissue Engineering (TE) can also benefi t from advances in the design of\nbio-responsive nanomaterials. TE involves the development of artificial scaffold structures on which new cells are\nencouraged to grow. The ability to control topography and chemistry at the nanoscale offers exciting possibilities\nfor stimulating growth of new tissue through the development of novel nanostructured scaffolds that mimic the\nnanostructure of the tissues in the body. Recent developments in this context will be discussed.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout Dr. Stevens\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EProfessor Molly Stevens is Research Director for Biomedical Material Sciences in the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at\nImperial College London.
