Nanobiotechnology is a branch of biotechnology that involves the use of nanoscale materials and techniques to study biological systems and develop new pharmaceutical and biomedical technologies. It involves the integration of nanotechnology and biotechnology to create nanoscale devices, materials, and systems for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases.

The science strictly relates to nanomedicine and nanomedicines, widely recognized by EMA and ETPN, that give detailed definitions and guidelines: https://etp-nanomedicine.eu; https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/humanregulatory.

The educational goal of the M.Sc. in Industrial Nanobiotechnologies for Pharmaceuticals is to create highly specialized professionals able to satisfy the needs of research, manufacture and quality control in the area of nanotechnologies applied to industrial pharmaceutical biotechnology.
