Newly developed tools opened new science in biology and medicine. Automated convergence systems are examples of recently available platforms that could change medicine and biotechnology into another level with accurate, reliable, and convenient diagnostic tools. With automated convergence systems, ultimate sensitivity could be guaranteed targeting single cells and molecules. In this lecture, we discuss engineered micro-, nanofluidic systems for biomedical nanotechnology including gene ligation, gene transformation, and cell cultivation from nanoliter or picoliter sample volumes. Unlike conventional methods with cumbersome pipetting procedures, our unique systems harbor most of the processes of nanobiotechnology processes without any pre- or post-sample treatments. The systems and methodologies could be applied to the advancement of biotechnology and medicine including early-stage diagnostics and new target development in drug discovery.
