*Geoffrey Waterhouse1 (1. The University of Auckland(New Zealand))

Keywords:Biosensing, DNA, Virus, Contaminant

Global concerns about food safety and human health motivate the development of new and improved technologies for the detection of food adulterants, point of care diagnostics (POCD) and disease treatment. This speech will overview some recent collaborative work involving the successful application of nanotechnology in these three areas. Through a series of case studies, the vast potential of nanotechnology in the food, biotechnology and health sectors will be demonstrated.
