Abstract
Research is an important activity in nanobiotechnology both in the academic and commercial sectors. Major portion of the research activity is in the commercial sector and is focused on translation into clinical applications as the number of products in the market is still limited. Two important segments of research in the commercial sector are nanodiagnostics and nanoparticle-based drug delivery. Whereas most of the academic research in the US is funded by government agencies, research in the commercial sector is funded by venture capital and other private sources. Research activities at various companies involved in nanobiotechnology are described. There are numerous collaborations between the academia and the industry and many discoveries made in universities are commercialized by the companies.
