Nanobiotechnology is the branch of nanotechnology with biological and biochemicAl applications or uses. Nanobiotechnology often studies existing elements of nature in order to fabricate new devices .
The term bionanotechnology is often used interchangeably with nanobiotechnology, though a distinction is sometimes drawn between the two. If the two are
distinguished, nanobiotechnology usually refers to the use of nanotechnology to further the goals of biotechnology, while bionanotechnology might refer to any overlap between biology and nanotechnology, including the use of biomolecules as part of or as an inspiration for nanotechnological devices .
Nanobiotechnology is that branch of one,which deals with the study and application of biological and biochemical activities from elements of nature to fabricate new devices like biosensors.
Nanobiotechnology is often used to describe the overlapping multidisciplinary activities associated with biosensors particularly where photonics, chemistry, biology, biophysics nanomedicine and engineering converge. Measurement in biology using for example, waveguide techniques such as dual polarisation interferometry are another example.

One example of current nanobiotechnological research involves nanospheres coated with fluorescent polymers. Researchers are seeking to design polymers whose fluorescence is quenched when they encounter specific molecules. Different polymers would detect different metabolites. The polymer-coated spheres could become part of new biological assays, and the technology might someday lead to particles that could be introduced into the human body to track down metabolites associated with tumors and other health problems.
