ABSTRACT

In 1998, B. Kasemo pointed out that biological surface science will be an important part of the future of surface science, as historic fields like semiconductors, catalysis and materials science were in the past. Ten years after, with the need for tailoring specific activities, for example in biosensors, biological surface science has become an outstanding example of multidisciplinary science, at the frontier of

physics for understanding of surfaces and interactions, chemistry to assemble molecules of interest on a surface, and biology to understand cascade of chemical signals transducing in cells after adhesion [1].
