Over the past decade, numerous methods have been developed for producing gold nanomaterials in the quality, quantity, and reproducibility required for a systematic study of their properties as a function of size, shape, and structure, as well as for the full exploration of their applications in biological studies and nanomedicine. In this talk, I will briefly discuss some of the new developments, with a focus on the rational design and controlled synthesis of gold nanomaterials for optical bioimaging, drug delivery, and cancer theranostics.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EReferences 1.
