Nano medicine

Nano medicine is one of the medical applications of nanotechnology. It ranges from the medical applications of nanomaterial’s to Nano electronic biosensors, and the future applications of molecular nanotechnology, such as biological machines. Functionalities can be added to nanomaterials by interfacing them with biological molecules or structures. The size of nanomaterials is similar to that of most biological molecules and structures; therefore, nanomaterials can be useful for both in vivo and in vitro biomedical research and applications. Thus far, the integration of nanomaterials with biology has led to the development of diagnostic devices, contrast agents, analytical tools, physical therapy applications, and drug delivery vehicles Nano medicine sales reached $16 billion in 2015, with a minimum of $3.8 billion in nanotechnology R&D being invested every year
