Nanobiotechnology is a very recent emerging multidisciplinary field involving biological research with various fields of nanotechnology. The most important objectives involve applying nanotools to relevant medical/biological problems and refining this application developing new tools for medical and biological purposes. This technical approach to biology allows scientists to imagine and create systems that can be used for biological research. Thus, computational studies on this field will help to complement experimental techniques and will result necessary and essential for a better understanding of several processes within this field. We already applied computational approaches in several fields related to this topic: 1) to design improved drugs based on phenanthroline (phen) derivatives, 2) to understand the behavior of transition metal functionalized graphene and 3) to characterize nanocapsules. Next step is to try to put all these ideas together in order to fight against cancer and antibiotic resistance.
