CRISPR is an example of nano-biotechnology because it integrates biological molecules, or "biomaterials," with the surface of nanomaterials for applications in healthcare and life sciences. In the case of CRISPR, an engineered nanoparticle is used as the delivery system to hold the enzyme and genetic material closely together and deliver them into the cells. This combination of biomaterials and nanoparticles is what makes CRISPR a nano-biotechnology system.
