The role of nanomaterials and nanotechnology in life sciences is yet to be fully understood, as it has resulted in the constantly developing field of nanobiotechnology. In fact, nanomaterials can interact with biomacromolecules as well as with living systems and these interactions can be used to develop new materials and technologies which are foreseen to revolutionize our understanding of biological phenomena. This chapter deals with the synthesis of biologically functionalized nanoparticles and their interface properties as well as with their innovative applications, in particular in the biomedical field, in imaging and therapy.
