Life Sciences and NanoMedicine

In a variety of application areas, nanotechnology is a young technology that is expected to offer technological solutions and commercially viable products. Pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, diagnostics, gene therapy, medication delivery, and tissue engineering are a few examples of life sciences fields where nanotechnology has applications. Nanotechnology offers numerous potential advantages for drug delivery methods. Vaccine adjuvants and delivery systems, nanostructured applications used in orthopaedics and wound management, controlled release drug delivery systems, delivery vehicles that enhance circulation and targets of drugs and to specific cells, and systems that increase the solubility of poorly water soluble drugs are some of the advantageous areas in which nanotechnology efforts are being made.
