Inspired by the most recent scientific advances in the field of biology and biotechnology, several artists propose, for a number of years now, singular artworks, at the frontier of arts and science, that transform living beings into aesthetics proposals. These new artistic practices are developing under the appellation of "bioart" and have for effects to blur the border between arts and science. These artists are taking over laboratories and manipulate the living.

[Chapter 6. The concept of personalisation in the context of nanomedicine].

Nanomedicine – the application of nanotechnology to medicine – is considered to be a major breakthrough in medicine. Based on interviews with Canadian researchers in nanomedicine, this article proposes an analysis of their conception of the personalisation of healthcare, which is one of the most important promises of the nanomedicine. Two major elements have been identified : (1) a molecular conception of the individuality of the patient ; (2) a technical conception of the personalisation of healthcare.

Nanomedicine and personalised medicine: understanding the personalisation of health care in the molecular era.

Globally supported by public policy and investment, nanomedicine is presented as an ongoing medical revolution that will radically change the practice of health care from diagnostic to therapeutic, and everything in between. One of nanomedicine's major promises is that of personalised medicine, enabling diagnostics and therapeutics tailored to individual needs and developing a truly 'patient-friendly' medical approach. Based on qualitative interviews with nanomedicine researchers in Canada, this article explores the emerging concept of personalised medicine as it becomes entangled with nanomedical research.
