title: [Nanotechnologies: from information sciences to pharmacology].
abstract: The considerable breakthroughs of the physics during the last 30 years allowed us to conceive components, devices or materials at the nanoscale level and to manipulate them. Applications are already envisaged in the field of the medical and pharmaceutical sciences. These nanotechnologies will be applied to the biology as well as the diagnosis, the therapeutics and the functional rehabilitation (nanomedicine). Consequences in the pharmaceutical research and development are also possible in a near future.
