In this regard, the authors have participated in various initiatives to identify its concepts, foundations and challenges. While nanomaterials open up the possibility for developing new devices in many industrial and scientific areas, they also offer breakthrough perspectives for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. In this paper, we analyze the different aspects of nanoinformatics and suggest five research topics to help catalyze new research and development in the area, particularly focused on nanomedicine. We also encompass the use of informatics to further the biological and clinical applications of basic research in nanoscience and nanotechnology, and the related concept of an extended "nanotype" to coalesce information related to nanoparticles. We suggest how nanoinformatics could accelerate developments in nanomedicine, similarly to what happened with the Human Genome and other -omics projects, on issues like exchanging modeling and simulation methods and tools, linking toxicity information to clinical and personal databases or developing new approaches for scientific ontologies, among many others.

The INBIOMED informatics platform is designed to facilitate the integration and sharing of clinical, genetic and epidemiological data, as well as to provide tools to analyze experimental data, predict and simulate biomedical knowledge. The INBIOMED platform integrates information from heterogeneous data sources, based on the available standards, facilitating the application of information analysis to study a concrete pathology. The integration of biomedical data will allow to obtain significant results to use in clinical and biomedical research as, for example in the development of diagnostic systems based on molecular and genetic classifications that could be applied in the study of tumors, the development of pharmacogenetics treatments, and the development of applications to improve public health research by means of the development of genomic epidemiology. This paper also presents the motivation for, and the initial stages in planning the application of grid technology for the INBIOMED Network.
